Idle control valve cleaning help V4 Sti
Hi, I've got a bit of fluctuating in my revs and have bought a new gasket for when I went to clean it.
I can't seem to find the threads on how to clean it and I'm not entirely sure where to clean it?
I've taken the two screws off the top and pulled it off what looked like a rotor arm?
I must be looking at the wrong part though because the gasket I have doesn't fit that part.
I'm guessing I need to take the idle control valve whole part off the inlet manifold?
Its on a v4 STI

Yes fella should be two screws holding the IACV to the manifold, remove it then you will see the port which will be full of black carbon build up sh*te, give it a good clean out with something like carb cleaner or similar! you can go further and use a cordless drill to spin the mechanism but it might not need it.
