Cleaned IAC today, but did I harm the IAC? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I took the IAC off and cleaned it today it wasn't dirty at all really. Anyway while I had it out I pushed on the tip of the plunger and it went in some but didn't pop back out. By doing that did I hurt the iac in anyway?

No, normally it will not hurt it. The IAC is just a motor, it has a little plunger that is controlled by the ECM. Basically a controlled vacuum leak with the engine running.

after re installing cycle the key and leave it on, it will go through its motions and reset itself.
