when i clean my aac, lost the gasket.

[ejXa q45]

i clean my aac valve and when i went to place it back on i dropped it and i don't think it can be recovered unless i remove the top half of the intake manifold. so what i am asking is can i use red rvt sealant as a gasket temporally.

You can use RTV but you do so at your own risk.

Too much and you could end up plugging the holes or worse yet, having pieces(sp?) of RTV get down into the valvetrain/cylinder.

Too thin and you run the risk of leaks.

dont use RTV!

Id rather see you wait and get one from Joe and just put it back on with no gasket......

thanks i will do just that and use a small beed and give it proper time to dry a leakis better than no gasket at all i think. how can i set the aac to the correct timig for more low end torqueor hp?

The IAC only controls idle. hence idle air control valve

to late for that !!!!!!!! i just did it and i all ready was driving it with a gasket for weeks. why do you think this is a bad idea?

[elwesso]

I just dont like the idea of RTV in that area... Its gonna be a ***** to clean up when you do put a gasket on.

that is true i will take my chances ,maybei will buy a new unit when the time come

Start with 2 turns from out and then tweak to have the needle just below the 750 mark.

"The IAC only controls idle. hence idle air control valve"

NOT entirely TRUE.......The IAC also functions as an old fashioned "dash pot" providing up to 25% of the engine air around the throttle plate at cruise rpm idle to 2500 rpm.When you sudden close throttle [lift foot off] the engine does not die but progressively lowers rpm over a short time.

At idle no AC no lights no extra loads 10% duty cycle, AC on loaded 15-25% duty cycle, as speed increase the duty cycle goes up to 80% [~~1500 rpms]

Point taken, tech......
