I had noticed on the old IAC that there is a little rod that was getting
stuck, the WD-40 had freed that up. But obviously it's only a tem****ary
fix, at least it was with mine. Mine was all crudded up with some hard
black carbon and whatever else in the channel the little rod moves back
and forth in, which I assume causes sticking and possible wear.
