Hey everyone,
My wife's Commander (2007, 4.7l) had a CEL on so she took it to her mechanic. He cleaned the throttle out, then called and told us that there was some conflict in the error codes--and it was suddenly idling very fast, with a new P0507--and that she ought to take it to a dealer to have them reflash the computer to perhaps rectify the (idle/conflict) problems. The dealer decided that it needed a new IAC and clockspring. I installed a new IAC myself. I'm not particularly adept at this, but it seemed like a simple enough job. Now it is idling somewhat slow (about 500) and we get a P0506.
Perhaps I erred somewhere in the install? Is there something I should check in particular. (I will say that the old IAC came right out, but the new one didn't seat all the way in until I fully tightened the screw. But perhaps this is normal.)
Any ideas on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
eSEB
