IAC valve
 

I was going to remove this in order to take the TB off and clean it, but it won't come out. I disconnected the elec., removed the screws and tried to gently pull it out. No luck so I pulled a little harder and still nothing. How hard do you have to pull to get it out or is there some trick like warm the engine up first, etc.?
Thanks

it should come right out with a little force. spray some multi lube on it

I pulled on it by hand, but did not resort to any helpers (i.e small prybar or screw-driver). How much force are you talking about?
Thanks

try twisting it a bit... Did you remove the bolts, because it shouldn't be that hard...
