what's up gang? been checkin' out this great site for a while now, just haven't gotten into the forums yet. I'm having a problem that I'm pretty sure I know the answer to. My car is a 99 GT and I'm having stalling problems. I start the car and it turns over fine, but won't stay running unless I give it some gas. Usually (for the past few weeks) once I gave it gas it would continue to idle just fine. However, today it won't stay running unless I give it gas ALL the time. When I come to a light and push in the clutch it stalls. Even at highway speeds, if I push in the clutch RPMs will go way down like it wants to choke. Just changed the fuel filter and ran some techtron through the engine. Don't think it's fuel related. Symptoms are classic IAC Valve all the way, but just wanted to see if anyone out there has had the same problem and were able to fix it with a new Idle Air Control Valve. Thanks in advance!!

mine did the same thing and i just pulled the iac valve off and hosed it down with carb cleaner then a couple shots of wd40
i've had to do this every 3 months or so... i could just replace it and be done with it, but im a cheap ass

awesome, that's what i was thinking i'd do. and eventually (when i have the money) i will replace the darn thing. but since it's so friggin' easy to take on and off, i might as well clean it up and see what happens. thanks man.
