Default RE: not idleing when cold

iac is probably stuck/not working. i too replaced mine about a year ago and all was well. then about 2 weeks ago it started that crazy surging when cold, 900-1500 rpm, up/down, up/down. today i pulled it off and sprayed crc electronic cleaner all over it and in the well. used my finger inside the well. it seems to have calmed down - but we'll see. if it doesn't straighten up i'm going to replace it again.
