Hi guys, I too have the unstable idle and the MAF operates correctly (even cleaned for better performance). I'd like to clean the idle control valve but my car is the 2002 986 with electronic idle control valve. So before I go spraying electronic parts cleaner into the valve I'd like to know 1) is it safe to just go spraying into the part, and 2) is there a recommended process/posting somewhere detailing how to perform this process safely?

Thanks for any insight, JM Atlanta
