How in the he!! do you guys take your IAC sensor out while the TB is still
on the engine???
I have a 97 Dak 318 and there is no room to put a torx driver in there. I'm
thinking the best way to do this is to completely remove the TB and clean
all the sensors while you're at it. I have enough trouble just dealing with
the distributor cap and wires even when the air hat is off.
