When ever the car is cool, and I start my car, it stalls or dies out if I don't push on the gas pedal. After the car is warm up, its still idles a little shakey. I don't know whats the problem? Is it the IAVC?

Hi Rith,

The problem should be the Fast Idle Themo valve ( FITV ) rather than the IACV if it only stalls when engine is cold.

It is located below the throttle body.

I tried taking it off and cleaning the it, and after replacing it, it made it worst. The car will start and dies immediately. I order a new FITV and hopefully it'll sove the problem.
