This install is super easy, but there's barely any info on it so I made this thread to help out those who may be confused.
It seriously takes 5 minutes. I do NOT reccommend taking this to the dealer to work out, because they will definitely rip you... the part is expensive enough as it is! Just order it from somewhere and do it yourself.
What you need is a 12mm wrench, a 10mm socket, pliers, and a rag. Don't use sockets on the Valve because it won't fit with a ratchet.
Here's how the car ran before I fixed it.
Click Here for the video
The car isn't warmed up in that video either, but it ran the same way when it was warm.
The code that is being thrown is P-1508.
Here is the part, I ordered it from AutoParts Warehouse for 188.44, and it was here ln like 2 days.
Here's the location of the part.
Use your 10mm to undo the battery. This is so the Check Engine light will reset and not go on after you're done.
After that, unplug the wires on the valve. Use your 12mm to undo the bolts, and use the pliers to take off those hoses attatched... place the rag underneath wherever you undo the hoses because it'll be a little messy, and remember which hose goes where on the IACV.
Here's the old one, it was pretty dirty.
Of course, all you have to do is just reattatch the hoses, bolt it back on and plug that bish in and you're all set, my car cranked right up and ran like a champ again.
