    For the throttle body you use throttle body cleaner,and for the maf you use maf cleaner.When you clean the throttle body it is a good idea to take the iac off so it doesn't get wet.

    Awesome ill do this hope this works, if it doesnt work what other thing could be???

    If it doesnt work then your iac is bad.When is the last time the car had a tune up?

    Well i replaced: oil seals head cover gaskets tensioners damper timing belt tensiiner spark plugs spark plug wires air filter like 500 k miles ago

    Ok so it cant be the spark plugs,so if cleaning the throttle body doesnt help then i would say your iac is bad.

    If you confirm that your IAC is bad, there's a guy selling v6 parts on clasificadosonline, I called him about the complete throttle body for my swap and he asked me $35 but I'm not buying it so check it out and he is in bayamon

    So did it fix the problem? Are you still stalling?

    Well it used to come and go, is not doing it atm. What i noticed is sometimes while on drive at a red light revs drop to around 500 to 600rpms and some times it stays at around 700 to 800. But other than that its been working good
