Last Tuesday I fixed a no-start on a 2008 Civic by cleaning the idle air control valve instead of throwing parts at it

The guy had already spent $400 on a new battery and alternator from another shop, and all it took was 15 minutes with some throttle body cleaner to get his car running again, has anyone else saved a customer a ton of money with a simple cleaning trick?

People always overcomplicate things before trying the simple fix first.

My buddy Mark spent 3 hours rebuilding his carburetor once before checking the gas line, exactly what @oscarwilliams said.
