Engine Mechanical problem
1992 Chevy Lumina Z34 6 cyl 3.4L Front Wheel Drive Automatic
----------------------------------------------------------------
Last week my car started to idle roughly. It would go from 2.5k rpms back down to 1k rpms. It gave a code 35 on the check engine, which means: Idle Air Control Problem. Well, I took out my Idle Air Control valve and cleaned all the carbon off of it and put it back in. The car ran fine for a couple mins. So I purchased a new IAC and put that in. Car ran perfect for one day at a steady idle of 700rpm in park. Now the problem is back. Check Engine light comes on with the same code 35. Can this be electrical related maybe a fault Electronic Control Module? Or is there a vacuum leak somewhere and the new IAC was compensating for it? I also noticed that the IAC is extremely hot to the touch when the car is running, is that normal? Please Help me, or give suggestions. thank you.
