That's looks like a throttle position sensor.

Mine is the one on far left with 2 red hose on it.
I know its different engine and I could be wrong

Can someone post a pic of Gen 3 A/C Idle ???
I really need to find about where is the exact location is!

94V6Camry, that indeed looks like the Idle Speed Control Valve (ISCV), however the circle you have shown is the electrical connector to the ISCV. The valve is held to the throttle body by 2 screws. As a matter of fact, I too want to clean the valve in my camry and am doing some research before I start opening things up. Look up the recent post by ekim15112 (?) of Feb 1 (wish I knew how to attach that link here.....), there are some pictures there of the idle control valves for all camry's..keep us posted..

Ok we need to be clear on what you want. A/C -> Air Conditioning. ICV -> Idle Control Valve.

I Don't know but me i really would like to know both of them. thanks

Well here is my probs....car running ok...when turn on A/C the RPM will somtimes go down so much it cost my steering wheel to shack and nearly stall the car.
So yeah i think its the A/C Idle Up thing .

^ Your looking for the a/c idle up VSV (vacuum switching valve).

No idea where it is on your engine. But I found some info.

Here is a larger, exploded image of the IAC:

Here is your image:



This should answer your questions. The IAC valve on the 3vz-fe has either two or three screws that allow you to take it apart (after you remove it from the intake), there you will see the little cone shaped piston that get really gummed up (and starts sticking). After you clean it sufficiently, I would suggest placing an inline filter on the PCV hose to keep the IAC clean in the future.

After I cleaned mine, I have had absolutely no more problems with the car stalling at idle. It is a relatively quick job, to solve a frustrating problem.

Thanks for the info AdamS, i got another Q's wat does the inline filter look like???
Can you post me a pic so that i can go and get the part, and what does it do???
And also one final Q's i am using Haynes Manual and just wondering do u know where i can get a diff downloadble (PDF) for my Gen 3 Camry???


P.S Sorry i was looking @ http://www.mindspring.com/~acuralegend/IAC-valve.jpg and just wondering once i take off the 2-3 screws....do i need to replace the gasket when putting back in?? also can i use W40 to clean the parts????
Cheers

Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV), it routes fumes in the crankcase (not talking about combustion chamber) back through the intake to be combusted. It is an emissions device, you really could remove it all together or unhook it off of the intake tube and use a PCV filter on the end of the disconnected hose. Then plug up the hole in the intake. like this:


more info on PCV system

Or leave everything hooked up and just use an inline filter like this except get a clear one. Cut the PCV hose and use hose clamps to attach one of these.



Downloadable PDF--Except the one that is a sticky on this board (for the 1mz-fe), I do not know of one. I got that exploded view from the Haynes. Best to try and get a Camry Service Manual from Toyota, it is far more detailed.

Do not worry about replacing the gasket, unless it is destroyed, but i think it has metal in it. Mine was fine, I just reused it. BTW the gasket is between the intake and this IAC valve.

For clarification: To remove the IAC, you will have to remove some bolts I think three. Once you get it off of the car then disassemble the IAC unit (three screws), and begin cleaning.

I would suggest brake fluid cleaner, found at local autoparts store...But I guess WD40 will do, it does have some degreasing, degunking properties.


thanks
