Okay, so until I have enough money to register my car, I go outside and start the car everyday to keep the fluids running through it and whatnot, but, I have to start it like, 15 to 25 times for it to stay alive and idle correctly. When I try and start it up the first couple times, it will crank and start and then bog and die, check MAF and shit, its good, only thing I can think of is cleaning my IACV, but ive read thats mainly just for bad idling, and mine wont idle at all until about 25 tries of trying to start it. Would cleaning the IACV help this problem?

Also, quick question, clockwise or counterclockwise increase the idle on the Idle Adjustment Screw?

PS: This is on a SOHC
