Peter, 
I've gone the IAC cleaning route twice with no long term luck (slowed after
a month), so I'm going the replacement route. Prices aren't too bad on the
units here ($90 list, $50 wholesale.)
I degreased, soaked in a "super lube" synth stuff, then removed excess as
not to attract dirt. 
Good temporary fix, but after 6 years and too many miles I'm going to give
the Z a new idle stepper motor for Christmas (no wonder my friends think I'm
weird :^)

RE:

I've often wondered what the correct procedure for re-lubricating these Idle
Air Conttrol (IAC) valves is? I've recently had two get "sticky" and I've
just swapped them for newer ones, rather than cleaning and lubing. Anyone
got some well tried tips?

Peter
