01 PF code P0505 IAC valve

Postby swanicyouth » Thu Nov 10, 2011 7:26 am

***Left my 01 idling outside the store for a few minutes last night. Come out SES light on. Scan it, code P0505 IAC valve. Re-set the light, started it a few more times, let it sit, restart - let it idle - light stays off. I did some research, and I found some people had this code and replaced the IAC valve to no avail. Also, apparently coolant runs through this valve, it can leak internally, short it out, and fry the ECM. Background: 4 days ago I took apart the air tubing and cleaned the throttle plates. Light never came one before or until 4 days after. If it comes on again, I will try the idle re-learn procedure. Car idles exetremely smooth, tach on dash reads about 800. No driveability issues at all. Anyone deal with this code? What did you do? Thanks !
