Ever since ive intsalled my intake my car has idle really low and dies if i dont give it gas when i first start it up when its cold. So i removed the idle air control valve to check if it was dirty, and it was fine. I left it out and turned the key on to make sure it actually moved, and it did, a little to much lol. the end popped off, i put it back together but it still idles low when cold. So my question is should i replace it? thanks

If this problem started immediately after an intake install, then I would not suspect the IAC as the problem.

More likley, you have a vacuum leak due to some part of the intake swap. Something somewhere is not sealed correctly. Hunting for such a leak would be my first step, given the circumstances.

i thought the same thing too, but once it warms up it idles and runs fine. it has a bbk intake, lt's, and ory.

My idle are control is bad but it just surges when idling.never dies when cold.

I had this problem when I installed my intake. I did it too quickly and didn't notice that the gasket covered up the IACV opening. I had to make a hole for the opening and the problem went away.

Open the butterfly up a bit with the set screw.
