Apparently ICV..

I sprayed it the valve with carb cleaner.... it didnt do anything.

Does it only do it when it's warm?? Mine has the same problem but it will only do it when it rains :s

Mine was the ICV. I too cleaned it out with carb cleaner but it didn't help. I changed it and it hasn't missed a beat since.
