service or replace IACV intake air control valve

Oga Gazzuzz, thank you so much. Tried removing the IACV last Saturday (May 5) but bolts had become rusty. Eventually got a direct fit throttle body from Ladipo. It idles much better now. I will keep observing it over the next few days.

Thank you once again.

Good afternoon Gazzuzz, please I need your advise.

I use a RX300. the AC has been functioning well when I got if, recently it stopped cooling, I refilled and after some weeks it stopped. Technician checked it and asked me to change the condenser which i did. Then refilled again, it stopped again. He checked again for leakages and found none. Then refilled again, same thing occurred. I took it to another technician who advised I change d freezer. Prolly the condenser wasn't the issue initially.

Now i am supposed to change the freezer according to them, mine is expired. I would like to know the cost of a freezer as they keep telling me its about 20k. Recall I Jst changed the condenser for about that same amount. Kindly advise me please because I have not been using the AC for a while and the weather is so hot.

I have a feeling these technicians are trying to overcharge me.

Awaiting a positive response
