IAC---LOOKS LIKE 2 BOLTS---SOME CARB CLEANER--TOOTH BRUSH---MAYBE SOME GENTLE SCRAPING
THE PLUNGER AND IN THE HOLE IT GOES INTO, IS WHAT NEEDS ATTENTION. LOOK AT THE CONNECTOR FOR PROBLEMS TOO.
IF YOU GET "POSITIVE CHANGE" IN OPERATION, MAYBE WE HAVE FOUND THE PROBLEM!
YOUR CALL ON IT BEING CLEAN AND BETTER OPERATING, OR JUST REPLACING IT.
I SORTA GAUGE THINGS BY AGE AND MILEAGE AS TO MY NEXT MOVE.
INTERNALLY, IT COULD STILL BE MALFUNCTIONING, EVEN IF CLEANED TO PERFECTION....SO IT MAY NOT BE TOTALLY RULED OUT AS THE CULPRIT, WHEN YOU DO THIS.
ON THE OTHER HAND, IF I'M WRONG---YOU'RE OUT $4, AND HAVE PERFORMED A LITTLE MAINTENANCE.
YOUR CALL
RETURN WITH GOOD NEWS!
