Junkyard and pick up another IACV, I'm 95% sure that the IACV from 92-00 are the same so one from any D15 or D16 motor should work. The junkyard by me sells them for like $7 if that.

why did he say that that was bad.
is there a CEL on?
should be , i think, if iacv is bad.
is your idle speed racing or otherwise off the mark? does your idle speed drop off if you turn the lights on??

i have removed mine i sprayed it with carb cleaner and let it set wiht the cleaner for a couple of hours, then dumped that out and sprayed it with wd-40 and put it back in. did not help though, since i think the computer is the problem.
