I'm not sure if the Dodge-style IAC valve is designed to be cleaned. Did a web search and found that many or the Ford models can be. One page said that a valve could be cleaned "IF" it had an exposed spring; otherwise, would need to replace. One thing keeps coming up over and over - never allow the carb cleaner to run into the valve. I s'pose that would only flush the carbon deeper into the valve and motor?
While pondering over this, I happened to remember that my old IAC valve used to sit on my desk, right here in front of me.......SOMEwhere! Well, after moving about 50 lbs of useless papers, there it was. I'll try spraying a little cleaner on it and see if I can get the thing to work. New one won't be here till next week.
This old one looks pretty darn cruddy! Looks like it "could" be original to the engine? Lots of carbon on it - not even sure it's worth messing with. Seems like it got so bad last time that I couldn't even start the engine. ...Maybe I should make cleaning this an annual "summer" chore!
Still going to look into some of the other suggestions.
