First of all, Eid Mubarak to all the people over here. 


Secondly I want to discuss a problem. Unsurprisingly on the eid day I've been under the cat Bonnet for 2 hours because my car idle hasn't been that stable and I wanted to fix that. Basically my car idles around 950 and when I move the steering it fluctuates by 500. This problem came about when I cleaned the throttle body and remove some very big Air restrictors, which were covering about 65-70% of the air pipe. Car got a a lot better but the idle became bad and I got really worried because my dad was, is and always be against the idea of doing things yourself. So coming to the point, I think I have discovered the problem. I was trying to get the throttle body off to clean the iac valve because I thought that was the source of the problem but in the process of doing so I noticed that one of the pipes leading from the iac valve to the engine has cracked open. I now think that's the problem but I need confirmation for that because the pipe is in a really awkward position and it will be hard to get it off and pipe is really weirdly shaped so it will be harder to find that pipe too so I don't want to mess with and find out that that wasn't the problem. Can someone please shed some light on this?
I think what happened was that the pipe was already very weak but when I removed the air restrictions and the air flow doubled I think that cracked the pipe open and is causing the idle problem. Am I right?
