Cleaning Idle Control Valve

[Fappas]

Hi. Are the any gaskets that needs to be replaced when cleaning the ICV?

No

Be sure not to use hard brushes or cleaners tho I found out the hard way

I agree... no gaskets involved and it is a delicate procedure...

Which model are you referring to by the way?

on the e36 I used brake cleaner and a good cloth to wipe out the dirt.
