  • my 2000 eclipse has a problem with the iac... i clean just like the video, now the car revs all the way to 3000 rpms do i need to change the iac?

  • @bossdeltapollito Maybe did you drive it for a while to see if the rpms slowed back down?if they didn't it might be to late to save it by cleaning.

  • did you also go with the rag on the maf sensor?

  • @one4all101 No i just sprayed it a couple times,it really didn't look that dirty but it doesn't hurt to spray it anyway

  • my eclipse gt is idling low at start up only,almost sounding like it wants to die,sometimes with the dash lights coming on,till it warms for a sec. then idles fine? gonna try this and hope it goes away

  • @1991aperez yea man sound like you need a cleaning before it gets worse.

see all

  • You are a life saver.. This keeps happening to me, especially after I change the battery.... weird

  • @mclane345 yes it did idle low so low it would cut off on me when i stopped.It seems like the idle air control valve goes bad on the 2000 ,2001 eclipse after 140,000 miles. Guess i was lucky i just cleaned mine and it idles fine now and its been a year.As far as the holding back,it could be something to do with the idle air valve or the intake. Give it a good cleaning and let me know how it rides.

  • Did your car idle real low when you first started it before you cleaned it.. My 2000 Eclipse has a real low idle at start and then we could drive it around fine for awhile but after the car warmed up real good it would start holding back and then it wouldn't run at all atleast not for awhile.. Any answer would help.. Its driving me crazy lol
