Ioniq Engine Stalling At Idle

I own a 2017 Hyundai Ioniq hybrid with 81573 km. The check engine light is on, and the error code is for the idle air control (IAC) valve. The engine stalls at idle. I suspect the intake is contaminated, causing the IAC valve to malfunction. Has anyone else experienced similar issues with their Ioniq?

Summary of the thread

The suspected cause was a contaminated intake affecting the IAC valve's function. Another individual with a similar problem confirmed that a dirty air intake was the culprit, leading to the recommendation of professional inspection and repair. Following this advice, the intake was cleaned, and the IAC valve was replaced, resolving the issue.

I had a similar issue with my Ioniq a while back. Same symptoms: check engine light, stalling at idle. Turned out to be a dirty air intake messing with the IAC valve. Might be worth checking out thoroughly.

Thank you so much for your swift response! Could you elaborate on the extent of the issue you encountered? Did you try to resolve it yourself, or did you seek professional assistance? Any additional information you could provide would be immensely helpful.

I tried cleaning it myself at first, but it was pretty gunked up. Eventually, I took it to a workshop. They confirmed it was the intake and replaced the IAC valve. Cost me around 425€. Save yourself the headache and get it checked by a pro.

Following the advice, I took my Ioniq to a workshop. After inspection, they confirmed that the intake was heavily contaminated, leading to the failure of the IAC valve. The valve was replaced, and the intake was cleaned. The total cost was 425€, but the issue has been resolved. Thank you again for your support!
