where is the idle control valve?

on our trucks its an Idle control motor, and its inside the electronic part of the throttle body. When you took it all apart you recalibrated the throttle position sensor right. It wouldnt make it stall on a stock truck but the throttle would act really funny if you didnt.

are u sure? just looked it up on rock auto

AWE Daniel · Oct 25, 2010

Yes I am sure.

well the more and more i read it seems like the egr valve might be causing all of this. it might be stuck open. read that one guy blew it open when he did a header install so that will be checked first thing. then ill go do the exhaust..

idc about the cowboys just the rangers

and i just woke up lol

ok well i cleaned the tb and the egr valve. both were filthy. just got them put back on and it still does it. put more gas in it so thats fine. the intake has alot of carbon in it. also pulled a plug and it had alot of carbon on them too... im thinking it has to be a sensor now...

Silverbullet08 · Oct 26, 2010

oh im getting p0171 and p0174 both are lean codes...

truckin151 · Oct 26, 2010

Take it down and get the exhaust done to rule it out now before you start with the sensors.

Silverbullet08 · Oct 26, 2010

im trying to figure out to get it there now. dont feel comfortable driving it now

Silverbullet08 · Oct 26, 2010

which sensor controls the fuel trims short and long? thats the one thats prob messed up since my readings are exact opposite of jasons...

I believe that would be your o2 sensors but I could be mistaken, I still think you need to get your exhaust buttoned up and the sensors installed. THEN start worryin bout sensors cuz we'll know they are then installed correctly and it's either the sensors that are bad or you wired your extensions wrong.

Silverbullet08 · Oct 26, 2010

o2 sensors are plugged in with no splicing. the rears done matter right now

Oh, I was under the impression that you had to lengthen the front ones. Well ****........ I'm runnin outta idears.

edit: I would say check your coils, but..... that would most definitely throw a code so that can't be it either.

truckin151 · Oct 26, 2010

Since you didn't splice the fron O2s I assume you unclipped them to make them longer, mine wouldn't reach without doing that, so, follow those O2 wires up and see if something could have melted them further up top.

Silverbullet08 · Oct 26, 2010

ill check but they honestly werent close to what happened...

Silverbullet08 · Oct 26, 2010

all my issues!!

That sure sounds like what its doing... since you had to pull the intake off id look there to start, it might be that the maf wasnmt put in right or a wire there got pinched or something.

Silverbullet08 · Oct 26, 2010

the intake wasnt taken off. just the kn tube and we just unplugged it... no maf sensor just map sensor on dodge...
