Can anyone show me where the Idle air control valve/sensor is. Found the part on www.courtesyparts.com but i can't seem to locate the actual part on the truck.

well if this is the part i did my best to clean it out and tried to start it with no luck. Same issue. Crank but no start. Part# 23781M

You cannot clean it.

You cannot clean it.

No? Why not?

Your problem sparked my research mode.
I saw where others had tried the cleaning and it did not work.
But, if I may?
Is it all metal?
If so, maybe spray it with some carb cleaner?
Use the little red tube thing and stick it inside.
Just a shot in the dark here.

yea thats what i did. No luck. Thanks for trying Duke. Everyone is so helpful but i'm afraid its gonna have to go to the shop.

Tried that too. I'm afraid its a bigger problem. We'll see.

I pray it is not your intake manifold.
Let us know when you get it fixed.
