Hey guys!
New to ETCG, but I’ve been watching a lot of his videos, seems like a real down to earth tech who knows his stuff.
Anyway, just bought a used 1998 Camry with the 2.2 I4, pretty cheap, ‘low’ mileage (100,500) with a couple of issues so far. One seems to be that while my A/C was engaged, at idle in gear, the A/C clutch would cycle on and off over and over, almost like the idle was too low and the ECU was compensating.
So, I figured look into the IAC, which I heard can clog up, especially around that mileage.Low and behold, took my Throttle body off, and, well, it was a mess.
As you can see from the picture, the IAC passage was *packed* full of what I could only guess as dried coolant.
The IAC on this car has a small coolant passage, and only an O-Ring style gasket keeping it from leaking into the air passage itself.
Looks like it also covered the back of the throttle blade.
I cleaned it out the best I can, and it helped with the idle, but now I’ve got a P0505, so it looks like either a thorough cleaning or new IAC.What do you think Eric the Car Guy?

Google 5sfe iac calibration. But first clear the codes and see if it comes back. If it does then you verify it has a actual problem. Make sure the connector isn’t damaged as well.
Good morning.
I have a basic code reader, I cleared the codes twice and it came back immediately. I also scoured Google for ‘5SFE IAC Calibration’ but couldn’t find anything relevant.
I’ve got a new IAC on order, should be here tomorrow,
