I dropped the wrench twice and its still there lol.... to much snow on the ground to get under the car. I wish I would have replaced it instead if cleaning it!!!! after i cleaned the iac it worked better of like 3 days and now its back to the same old S_IT!!! lol... I am picking up a new IAC valve today. So this weekend I will be out their in the snow banks, 20 degrees and wind, freasing my butt off changing it....
