i have a 1990 Bronco II, 2.9. recently, with someone at another site touting all the benefits of cleaning the IAC, and suggesting it was at the root of every driveability problem anyone had, i decided to clean mine. took it off, sprayed it with carb cleaner, replaced the o-ring, new gasket, runs like crap. idles (barely) at about 200 rpm. lots of power - grunt is there, top end is there; push in the clutch while shifting, rpm's drop like a stone and it'll almost stall. i checked all my vacuum lines, all seem to be okay. while running, i unplugged the IAC and nothing happened. could i damage it by cleaning it? going to pull it sometime and bench-test it; saw somewhere about applying voltage and observing the solenoid activity??
