940 very slow ide at warm start 900 1991

Dear Brad,

May this find you well. Remove and clean the idle air control valve. Clean the end opposite the electrical connector. Use carburetor or choke cleaner. You'll flush out a lot of dirt. If that doesn't improve matters, you may need to replace this valve. I'd suggest getting one from a salvage yard (you can test it with a 12 volt portable source, and a twin-wire power lead, with alligator clips at one end). If the replacement valve solves the problem, you can either leave in place the one from the salvage yard, or buy a brand-new one.

Post the results, if replacing the IACV does not restore consistent operation.

Hope this helps.

Yours faithfully,

spook
