Default 04 Ralliart - Idler Air Control Valve Issue

I have an 04 Ralliart that either stalls when idle or keeps the rpms too high (betweek 1500-2500) or they simply bounce up and down between 1000 and 1500. I took it to the dealer for a computer diagnostic and I was told that the Idler Air Control (AIC) valve was at fault.

Does anyone know if that valve can be cleaned or does it need to be replaced? I am willing to buy a used one if anyone has one for sale.

In addition I need a "driver side door power actuator" as my central locking from the remote doesn't work. Besides the dealership, does anyone have any ideas on where I can get one?

Cheers

Hey buddy, don't buy a new idle air control valve. Basically, it's just plugged up with carbon build up. Here's an article I wrote, check it out "how to clean an idle air control valve" If you like it, subscribe to my blog
