AAC Valve test/cleaning
Did a bunch of searches on multiple sites. Cannot find a how-to on testing and cleaning the AAC. I want to do this along with adjusting my timing and testing/cleaning the IACV. Also looking for how-to on the IACV. Found a lot about replacement, and read that people HAVE tested and cleaned the IACV and AAC, but cannot find info on the how part. Please help, thanks.

Re: AAC Valve test/cleaning
Cleaning the Idle Air Control Valve (IACV)/Auxillary Air Control valve (AAC) is easy once it out. As far as testing it thats unnesssiary becuase I have not seen on fail. But just hook it up to the battery and make sure the valve moves all the way open.

You can shoot some WD-40 down the IACV hose with the engine running. It's actually a good thing to do once or twice a year, to keep everything lubed up.
