P0505 Idle Control System Malfunction

[TurboEM1]

Hey guys my 99 Si is throwing this code. I erased it but it came back an hour later. How do i got about fixing this? What part should I buy? How much?

Also is it safe to do some minor driving untill i fix it?

remover the IACV & clean the carbon out of it, if still throws code, then raplace IACV. its like $150

Any info on where its located and how to remove and clean it?

 

[Sleeper]

Back of the intake manifold, use chock & carb cleaner

 

[Bobo_686]

open the throttle plate up an just spray the cleaner in and use an old toothbrush, ive found out that works really well and wont scratch the surface

that wont touch the IACV though, itll clean the thrittle body though lol

I just had this code on my EM1 last night, I was wondering what was done to fix it, or if you did anything to fix it dude?

clean IAC valve and check the fast idle thermo valve if you have one.

sorry for the late reply. I unbolted it from the back of the intake manifold. Cleaned it out with carb cleaner really good. Let it soak a lot and rinsed it a lot all with carb cleaner. Sprayed the hell out of it because i didnt want to shell out $190 + for a new one. Then let it sit outside to air dry for about 30 minutes. Bolted it back up and the code never came back **Knock on wood**

what car, what motor you have? I had this issue with my B16A OBD1 motor, had to tighten the plate inside the fast idle valve, on my car it was on the bottom of the throttle body

What does this have to do with CEL code P0505? You should make your own thread.
