k so it stopped overheating and have the cooling system all good and ok but now its idling at like 3k rmps. I don't thinj its the computer because when i took off the IACV for leaning it was NASTY in there and the piston/shaft was stuck open. Shouldn't it be closed it there is now power to it? I also unplugged the IACV sensor while the car was running and the idle didn't change, making me think it's stuck open.

Wow its expensive.

what is?

Idle Air Control Valve. Cheapest i found was $90

get one from pick-n-pull....my dads cavalier was also idling at around 2.5-3k after changing the intake, we went to auto zone and it was going to cost him $70 but we went to pick n pull and bought a clean one for $14....

25k miles later still runs fine with idle under 1k

I dont think i have ever seen a 9th gen corolla at our pick-n-pull haha. had a hard enough time finding 8th gen. Plus i need it fixed fast so i just got a brand new one, its in san fran so it should be here quick.

there one in stockton...03 CE

ohh well, you gotta do what you gotta do

yaaaa screw that drive, im actually north of Sac a little soo thats a little far. I almost prefer buying new when it's something like a sensor or intricate part like the IACV. thanks for looking though.

well keep us updated on your progress once you get it

Yeah im sure this wont be the last time anybody attempts this mod.

Quick question, did you have to change your radiator hose when doing the swap?
Been doing research and all of the swap threads and information I have gathered is different.
i would just go in and try to figure it out myself but i can't go without a car for long so i wanted everything figured out before.

I found a right angle hose to run from the upper radiator and just coupled it with the existing one.

Haha thanks.

Got the new IACV and it runs and idles great, but my idle screw rattled out so now it drops down to like 500-600 and idles rough. Need a screw.

Celica ECU?

^yea

Need one lol

Found a pic of my upper rad hose.

That's funny, that looks exactly like what I did. Ha

show a complete engine bay man, i want to see the set up...but wouldn't sending the rad hose under the intake be better?

I tried, with all the sensors and my wiring harness running through right there it was easier just to go over.

anyone wanna sell me a valve cover?

I will have a spare valve cover when I finish polishing one and put it on...

who wants my 9th gen plastic engine cover?

Ill take a valve cover, like the metal one that covers your valves.

so the injen intake for a 9th gen will fit a 8th gen as long as you relocate the battery etc. I dont want to waste money and a short ram that will only suck in hot air...that is all i keep finding for a 8th gen

good luck finding an 8th gen CAI....9th gen CAI will fit but you need to cut a bigger hole where the stock intake resonator is at...relocate the battery as well

Build your own CAI... its not that hard and there are multiple ways to do it. Plus you can choose your own tubing size. 8th gens don't have after market CAI's.

mack has one, that super rare one...
