I've been having some typical problems with my Explorer not keeping
idle.  I've cleaned the IAC once ad it fixed it, for a while.  The
other night I had to just rev up the engine for a second to clear it
out.  Today I noticed its doing the same thing.  Tried cleaning it and
no luck this time.  I did some more research on this NG and noticed
someone said you need to unstick the valve with a small tool.  My
question is where exactly do I apply pressure to force the valve open?
Is is somewhere inside the open "chamber" where the spring is located?
Or is it on the otherside of the unit where I see a small silver
indent?

Thanks for any help,

Jesse

You might consider just replacing it.  $40 at NAPA.
