Clean using a cloth or a special liquid . If this component is problematic , the replacement cost will be quite expensive , more than $350.
If the ISC appears to be working , maybe it could be due to the following:
1 . Lack of hygiene component that should be treated routinely . For example, the air filter and the water flow sensor unit . Be sure to replace or clean it regularly .
2 . Check the throttle body , injectors , EGR Valve . Rawat and clean .
3 . Vacuum hoses should also be clean . Stuffy little can lead to other components disturbed .
4 . Because today's cars rely sensors , guard condition and always check when regular maintenance .
