If that doesn't work replace the IAC valve. Well good luck man. Irfan Rahim irfman2000@yahoo.com 2006 Blue Nissan Sentra SE-R Spec V Former owner of a silver 2000 Contour SE Sport ATX

I used a pretty big hole, i think it was 1/4, but the moose has been gone ever since!

I just tried to find a price on an IAC valve at fordpartsonline.com, but their site is down right now. In the meantime, the Throttle Hang fix costs a mere $0.30 (less in most cases) and an hours time - including getting out the simple tools you'll need. A few folks have reported feeling a "power loss", but this is in fact not so. This is only perceived because of the change in engine behavior. I had the TH fix on my 1999 SE V-6 ATX and recently removed it. No change in power at all, just the slightest hint of resonance from the accordian tube. I may end up re-installing it again if the resonance gets any more audible. Must be that jumbly-wumbly thing happening again.
