i tried to clean the aicv by spraying carb cleaner into the tube that connects to the intake and nothing changed.. my timing is good too.. it now tries to die every once in a while... the idle would drop from 800 down to 500 back up and just bounce around..then a few minutes later it would sound like a diesel with the idle dropping to 100-200..and dies. it starts back up the next try.. any ideas? i also smell some kind of burning smell..smells like the car is on fire..
