Repair Procedure
1. Monitor the Bank 1 and Bank 2 Short Term Fuel Trim in the Data List.
2. Spray carburetor cleaner near the Intake Air Control Valve pivot shaft and monitor Short Term Fuel Trim as indicated in step 1.

If Yes - Replace the Intake Air Control Valve. Refer to the Technical Information System (TIS), 2004 model year RX 330 Repair Manual: Intake: Intake Air Control Valve Assy No. 2 (3MZ- FE): Replacement
