I would hold off on that.

Remember what I said about 5 minutes of Googggggggggglin?

Pay particular attention to the section that says diagnostic aids. Bet your eyes open a little wider when you see the EGR mentioned.

GearChatter.com :: View topic - DTC P0121 TP Sensor Circuit Insufficient Activity

Off to look up the EGR code and find the connection.

Edit: nothing on gearchatter about P1406, once I hit an FSM or anyone else that can, look up P1406 and find where it says something about TP sensor. That'* the area we want to head for with this one.

Well I finally got the Intake Control Valve off and It'* very stiff. I cleaned it up a little and I'll see how this works out. The car did run better after the cleaning, but I haven't taken it out on the road.

My check engine light is out and the car is running better now. Cleaning out the IACV took care of the problem.

Thank You
Kevin

I did Google the IACV before I even got the codes, I was hoping that my problem would be solved by cleaning the carbon build up on the part. Electrical Contact Cleaner was used to clean up the part and the Trottle Body.
