leaving it unhooked will affect your cold starts. since you have it off, spray it really well with carbeurator cleaner. commonly, it gets clogged with god knows what. don't poke around in there because there is a screen filter in it to keep that buildup out of it.

sounds like your iavc is no good. just go get a new one....autozone..i think it was $125 new. ebay $ 34.99 used but still good =) if it doesnt solve the problem, most likely it is though, then search for vacuum leaks.

I have a friend selling on off a LS for $10 if you are interested. I will call him if you want it. ;)

Is it easy to disconnect? I have the same problem. Is there a step by step site I can look at.

it is easy to install all you have is two 10mm bolts i believe they were, and then two hoses and the wire connections, very simple
