ok, recentley I have had a couple idling issues and other problems with my truck, I have heard mention about an IAC valve. Where is it located exctley? From what I have heard, I need to clean mine badly....any help would be appreciated

 

Lemme see I can find a pic of a 3.0L, but on my 4.0L, it's located under the engine cover, directly behind the throttle body, on the top.

I clean mine using CRC Mass Air Flow Sensor Cleaner. It's made for plastics and I could definately notice a differnece in running and gasmileage after I sprayed my MAF & IAC. IAC = Idle Air Control (i believe).

 

Look for something that looks like this...



If im not mistaken, on my old truck it as located on the top of the engine back near the firewall. Its been a while since i've had my 3.0, but just look for something like the pic.

thanks guys, i appreciate it....would this be a good time to clean my MAF and TB as well?

 

It's located on the intake manifold near the throttle body. Looks just like the pic that was posted.

Clean your MAFS with some CRC MAFS Cleaner. I have never cleaned the throttle body so, no idea on that.

 

I've got carbon/junk all in my Throttle body. What's the proper way to clean a platstic throttle body???

 

I am not real sure myself, but it would be nice to know considering I am pretty sure mine needs it lol. I think next is gonna be a tranny flush and a new filtercause my tranny is shifting hard too
