I started to have problems with idleing it seems to do it at random times.. When I'm in drive, neutral or reverse its fine. When its in park it idles at about 1k then bounces 250-500 rpms. But it does it sometimes only, not all the time. Random with the engine being hot or cold. I cleaned the IACV and put a new radiator on it because the old one was rusty and seemed to be causing the cooliant to turn brown and clay like. I dont know if taking off the IACV again and cleaning it.. I cleaned it before putting new radiator on. I dont know which "vacuum lines" to even look at.. I even replaced a line going into the manifold because it was clogged with radiator fluid.. nothing was going through tube..
Im at a stand still on what to do next, I dont trust mechanics at all. 2-3 years ago my check engine light went on.. I went to a mechanic and he said it was my o2 sensor and needed oil change, flush all that crap.. I said no and instead went online and bought a obd2 tool and hooked it up to my laptop and it was my gas cap that threw the error NOT o2 sensor. But im glad I bought it cause Ive had to reset the engine code a couple of times. But recently with the idle problem I'll get the p0505 which is an Idle Control System malfunction. Should I just buy a new IAVC or something you think I should look at next?
Thanks
