Рет қаралды 4,571,445
3 жыл бұрынDoes your car idle poorly, have a rough idle, or in general have an idle problem? Learn how to fix a car with high or low idle, and learn how to fix a car that idles up and down by cleaning the idle air control valve. The IAC valve is what keeps the cars idle at around 800rpms. If you turn the ac on and it idles low or your car stalls at lights or in reverse, or your car shakes at idle, this video can also help!

I'm now in college doing motor vehicle maintenance and repair, sort of what you do. If it wasn't for you, this wouldn't have happened. I just wanna thank you for starting my college life. Thanks to you, I know more about cars than ever before. I love watching you, and it will become more important as my life here in the UK starts and changes. I love you so much, and I just want you to know this. Your big fan, Shane Smith.

Thank you! This past week, I've learned so many useful tips and mechanic knowledge, saving me money... Very grateful for KZfaq channels like yours and others. My car was not restarting without bogging down and nearly stalling after short errands, if the engine was warm. I would have to leave my car running or let it cool down for 1-2 hours before I could restart it. So far, I used seafoam engine treatment in the crankcase and gas tank, along with installing 4 new spark plugs and the issue went away!! Resting idle went up to about 500 from 200 but could still be better. I'm hoping after cleaning the IACV, throttle body and fuel injectors, resting idle will go up to 700-800 like it use to. 2000 Honda CR-V. Makes me feel good to work on my baby! Had this car for 18 years. My only regret is not learning the basics any sooner...

Thanks so much for another great video! Here's my experience! I have a 99 Cherokee Limited (XJ 4.0L) that was starting to show strange issues with rough idle, stalling, and RPMs fluctuating. It happened fairly randomly. I was worried there was a problem with the fuel system, but it was suggested I try to clean the throttle body and/or replace the IAC. Then I found this video and you identified the *exact* issue I was having with fluctuating RPMs, as well as common ways to trigger it. In my case, rough running or stalls would randomly happen during hard turns, the transmission shifting gears, or me shifting from P/R to D. I would also experience periods of very rough idle with low/fluctuating RPMs when in park, or stopped at lights. And on top of all that, I'd sometimes have trouble starting the car; I'd have to tap on the gas while cranking to get it to turn over. Your video finally encouraged me to stop being lazy and clean the IAC valve. I also went one step further and cleaned the throttle body; the XJ's IAC is a little awkward to remove by itself, and I had never cleaned the throttle body so it was long overdue. I just finished up and went for a ride around town - no issues with stalling or fluctuating RPMs whatsoever! Fingers crossed that it stays that way!

I have been following your channel for years with out owning a car. Now i own a car and i am encountering this issue. Watching lots of stuff with out properly listening, is the feeling i am experiencing right now. I will start rewatching your stuff with my mind to it, to kickstart my car journey. My father has already started bitching and suggested me hes car friends services, but i told him politely to go clown as much as he wants, but ill keep my hands to my own car and learn. Thank you for always assisting us newbies.
