shouldnt make the slightest odds....

should make it start better if any carb cleaner got in air system...

Is the valve jammed shut?

I removed the AICV on the skyline.... cleaned and refitted.... car idled at 2k rpm after that.... i had the engine in bits, ECU out and played with....

eventualy found the throttle cable jammed under something pulling it open, whoopsi

It took me ages to get my IACV off the Nova, got it off cleaned it up. Found nothing wrong with it, day after took the inlet manifold off and found a sock rapped around the butterfly in the throttle body

You are supposed to fit a new o-ring every time you remove it, I did'nt.
