New Spring To Help My Idle

[Crans]

I finally coulod be bothered ripping on my iacv to fix my 2000rpm and hunting idle. turns out the spring had snapped.

I removed the snapped piece and it now hunts between 500 and 1000 rpm every now and then.

Trust me no where as bad as the constant 1500 - 2000rpm idle it had before.

Does any one know where I can get a replacement spring with out buying a whole new unit

Im sure some one has replaced just the spring.

Also anyone know of a good wideband afr sensor i can perminatly mount?

I've been looking for one myself called just about everywhere I could think of in Canberra and no one had springs that small. Just bought a new IACV off here for $35. You might also want to have a look at the pin, half the reason my spring keeps stretching is because the pin pops out and that plate turns right around.

anything i should look out for when taking out the icv ?

gotta check mine as well as the idle is very high,

[SLIPPERY]

are you referring to the spring inside the AAC?

If its another one, which one and have you got a pic?

[Crans]

take pipe off undo 4 bolts and dont break the gaskit so you can re use it.

I might go into a hobby shop and find a spring that will do.

What pin are you talking about?

Make sure you have something magnetic in case you lose anything in the engine bay. As was said don't screw up the gasket, also make sure you are very careful when opening it because the pin holding in the plate can pop out very easily.
