How in the world am I gonna get this outta there....trying to replace this old rusty idle air control valve. A ratchet/socket would not work no matter how hard I tried so I ended up using a flat head and some WD-40 and just hitting at it. Eventually I was able to pull it off but it broke inside...



The actually throttle body has stripped screws everywhere so its impossible for me to open that part up...

wow, well i have the same problem, my car would not idle well so i ordered me a new idle valve, you best bet would be a junk yard i think.
btw i havent tried to remove the old icv yet.

Sorry, this was not the response I was looking for. I already have a new idle valve from autozone...in the process of getting the old one out of there.

Is it a threaded part that stayed in there? If yes try to chisel and hammer it out, soak it in wd40 for some time and use chisel and hammer, or take out that stick and use bolt extractor.

Ended up just buying a new throttle body....
