[QUOTE="Mouse, post: 189384, member: 2204"] If u guys have problem like mine that engine keep dying after cranking and u need to step on the gas pedal to start and if found out that there is no leak or whatsoever, pls dont change your idle control valve first if the mechanic say most likely is the ICV problem. ask him to clean the throttle body and your existing ICV first, then if the problem still presist only u change a new ICV. the problem here is most likely your dirty throttle body with carbon builtup clogging up your ICV , so even after changing to new ICV but did not clean your throttle body, the same thing will happen again after 1 month and your new ICV will be clogged again. so just ask your mechanic to service/clean the whole throttle body inculding your old ICV, and only if problem still presists only u change to a new ICV.
