Thanks guys.
I will start with easy starter spray then to move onto the vacuum leak check and if that is fine, replace the ICV.

Speaking of which - I read it already here, and confirmed with my recent findings, the OEM one is around 450-600 USD. Some other brands are as low as 20 USD.... any reason why to get 30 cheap ones vs one expensive?

Deutsche parts has one for 150 or so.

And one more thing.

Is Durametric/any programming needed for the new ICV?
