wont pass DEQ has high idle...

[Channel595]

so i let some one borrow my car for about 3 months and now that it has expired tags and a high idle at about 1700 - 1900 i need to get it to pass. i saw this http://forums.nicoclub.com/iacv-aac-cleaning-and-testing-tutorial-t251133.html on another forum and i was wondering if you can take it off the pathfinder intake with out removing the intake manifold it looks like a tight fit. also there is an IACV and IACV-aac i cant tell which is which and in the FSM EF&EC -14 it shows the ecm controlled one with no connector on it and the temp controlled one with a connector? just as a shot in the dark i tried to use some intake cleaner and had no luck...

I'm not entirely sure what you are asking... I know that the AAC valve is basically fully underneath the upper intake plenum, and there is a connector that attaches to it, comes in from the back.

can the aac valve be removed with out removing the upper intake manifold?

I highly doubt it. There are probably a lot of things that can cause high idle other than the AAC valve though. Have you checked your timing, vacuum leaks etc?
