In this video we show you how to replace an idle air control solenoid and clean the throttle body on a 1996 Saturn. This car was having a excessively high idle. It would stay at 1500 RPM even though your foot was not on the gas pedal. This was caused by carbon build up around and behind the throttle body as well as a defective idle air control solenoid.

I know this video will not only save people some money but also I think it will solve a lot of confusion concerning the operation of the catalytic converter. These tests work as you can see in the video. So the next time you have a P0420 or someone tells you your catalytic converter is bad you'll know what to do to find out if that is indeed the case.

Quick Tip-Throttle Cleaning - EricTheCarGuy
This one goes out to BowlingBallOut who posted a question about a sticky throttle on his Saturn. It was a great question so I decided to make this video in response to it. There are many different configurations of throttle assemblies but for the most part if you have a throttle that is sticking you might be able to fix it using the procedures in this video. I am aware you may not able to purchase spray throttle cleaner in some states now but I'm sure they have some alternative available at your local parts store.

How To Clean The EGR Valve On A GMC Safari Vortec V6 Engine
Here is how to clean the EGR (Exhaust gas recirculation) valve on a GMC Safari Vortec V6 engine. If your engine started running really rough all of a sudden, your EGR valve may be stuck open. It's easy to remove and clean up. It is a good idea to install an EGR valve gasket with a filter in it to prevent future carbon buildup. Here is a link to a video I made showing the gasket:
