What causes a car to run lean at idle?
If the root cause is an electrical problem within the idle air control valve itself, you will likely have to replace the IAC. A vacuum leak is a hole in a vehicle’s air intake system behind the mass air flow (MAF) sensor that allows unmetered air into the engine. This throws off the expected air fuel ratio and causes the vehicle to run lean.
