well, I said kidding coz, this is like a 10 minutes job that is "just do it"...dont need to ask.

Anyway, the IAV on the TB should be cleaned, once every 40k, or less if u have some OEM filter. Dirty IAV will cause idle problem. When it is serious, enuff, engine will stall on air/con or hard-brake.

I am referring to the whole sub-assembly below the TB...and that connector is part of it. It is secured to the TB via 2 Cross-head screw. The connector is the signal from the ECU to control the wiper inside this IACV.
