Thread: Delete ARV and IACV?

since the winter season passed, any updates with pros/cons for those who drove in the winter? looking to do this instead of spending $140 on a new iacv. i'm using a nistune ecu so this will probably benefit me more.

yea, after having my setup without any idle control other than cracking the throttle slightly it got really annoying.

over the winter I ended up putting the cold idle valve back on, but I still don't have the IACV on the end of the intake.

once I finally get around to tuning my car, I may play around with the idea of a different IACV, unless I can keep the throttle cracked and get it set pretty good.

it seems like when my car has been at normal operating temp for a little while, the idle goes a little higher than I'd like and starts slightly surging.
