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?

Still going to look into some of the other suggestions.
