My 1993 V8 Dakota
we had replaced the IAC towards the end of the summer and it has just started to do this, and where is the engine coolant temp sensor

I had to replace the IAC 3 times in two weeks when mine went bad. Check to see if yours has a warrenty and go replace it again. We aren't trying to steer you the wrong way, and I wasn't joking when I said they are notorious for freezing up.
But I did figure this out since my truck has been a manual. If you are coasting and have it in neutral, the IAC keeps the engine idling at around 1000 rpms and as soon as you come to a stop (the VSS reads nothing), it drops the engine to its normal idle. Try doing that, and if the idle speed doesn't change from moving to stopped, you have a bad IAC.
