Originally posted by AdrianCarrion: Try using binder clips to squeeze the IAC supply hose just enough to eliminate the moose. This creates essentially the same effect as the TH fix(limiting air supply) but is much less of a hassle. It will create similar degradation of power as the TH fix but that is still less annoying than the moose and it can be easily removed for warmer weather. Get the best of both worlds. No moosing or power loss as seems to be experienced in the newer Contiques. How?? A longer length of 1/2" hose from the air horn to the IAC - about 3 feet. Coil it once or twice and intall it in place of the extising IAC hose. No restriction, no power loss, no moose. I have not had need to try this myself, but I've read it in some old posts, & re-posted it myself a few times quite recently. Must be that jumbly-wumbly thing happening again.

But now my accelerator sticks once i push the accelerator past a certain point and the RPMs roar and keep roaring until i slip the car into neutral. Could this be because I did not coil the hose at all? Should I just try the TH fix? If I do try the TH fix, should I put the old 6 inch hose back in or should i do the TH fix with the 3 foot hose i just installed? I wish i wasnt so clueless about cars =(

I replaced my IAC valve($48 from O'Reilys) and my car hasn't attracted a Moose in rut since. "Eagles may soar high, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines."
