[Shotimes] 93 MTX no start - part two

[Kevin & Cheryl Airth]

Tim:
Unplug the IAC and see if the car will still idle, it should die. IAC needs
to be cleaned or replaced. I have never had much luck cleaning them. Now
they are all pretty old so replacing it with the improved version might be
best. The FAQ has a write up on cleaning them if you want to try that first
before buying a new one.
