ISC replacement

[JackalUO]

Ok so I have new ISC let me get these steps right

1. Negative battery cable
2. remove hose/pipe coming from upper IC pipe to Throttle Body
3. unplug isc, Unscrew ISC, make sure O-ring does not fall
4. insert and screw in new ISC
5. replug ISC
6. Re-attach hose/pipe to Throttle Body
7. pull interior lights fuse in engine bay fuse box to Clear CEL
8. put fuse back in and start the car.

I won't have to take the whole throttle body off will I? Just making sure I have all this correct.

Pretty much, you are right you DO NOT have to take the throttle body off.

 

[JackalUO]

HELP!! I can't get the two screws off that are holding the iSC on what should I do?

 

[ChunkyLover53]

I actually just did this about 4 hours ago. Don't use a screwdriver, use a ratchet with an 8mm socket. It should be quarter inch drive. They came right off after I did that.

 

[JackalUO]

How did you get the ratchet down in there I used my smallest one and still couldn't get a good grip. I removed the battery to get a better angle to work on.

 

[ChunkyLover53]

I should have been more specific, I used a screwdriver with the ratchet head on it with the battery off as well. When I tried just a phillips screwdriver it was impossible, but when I got the quarter inch driver screwdriver/ratchet it was a breeze. If you don't have one of those handy I'm sure it would work if you had an extention.

Cool thanks for the input. I think i'll do a write up one of these days on ISC replacement

Don't forget to change the o-ring for the ISC when you change the ISC.

I don't think you will find what you need at "La Casa Depot". But let us know if you do!

 

[DarkCobraMan]

So yeah.... 10 years later.... Pretty sure it's a #28

Do a quick continuity test on the ISC to see if its in good condition or has bad coils. Jafro has a great video on this and the process can be done with the ISC on the car. A quick test might save you a lot of tuning headaches later.
