I remove the AC and air pump last year. Now I want to delete idle air control valve. Has anyone done this? I know you can just bypass the small coolant lines going to the air control valve. I want to clean up the engine.

 

You want to remove the coolant lines, or delete the entire IAC? The former can be done if you live/drive in warm weather since the coolant lines are to prevent icing.. but when removing the entire IAC I question how the heck you are going to control air flow when idle.

 

idle control valve is what maintains idle. you dont want to delete that...

 

Buy a 2006 or later car. No IAC.

 

 

This is your only option.
