I agree that cleaning doesn't always work (happened to me) but I would still give it a shot, as a replacement is around $60. The labor is minimal just to pull of the IAC and clean it, so its not like you're spending hours for nothing. In my case cleaning improved things for a month or so, but eventually the issues came back. Beer is my Gatorade. Hooray Beer. '98 "Sport" Pacific Green '98 E0 SVT Silver Frost Pictures

A can of TB cleaner, spray it out really good. When you think you've done enough, do it all over again - then let it dry. Once that is done, I used some spay silicone lube - and let it dry in the Florida sun for a while. Drying is an important step here as some have reported that silicone can ruin O2 sensors. I didn't know that at the time, I just got lucky. Re-assemble & go. Must be that jumbly-wumbly thing happening again.
