IAC motor question...

Guys on the IAC motor when the motor is warm on a 302 will the engine load up and die if this sensor is unplugged? I tried unplugging this sensor today when the engine was up to operating specs and it didn't die?

Yes it should die, take it off and clean it.

it is not a motor.

it is more like a valve.

idle air control = iac

rarely cleaning helps, worth a try, than buy new one.

Clean 'um any way...........a slender toothbrush or a nylon barrel brush..........some solvent to melt the carbon ridge where the plates rest.............pay close attention to the shaft pivot points......carbon builds up right there also.
