Ccanales is right. I had the same problem with the IAC but it took 4 of them to get a good one.

I also replaced my battery because of a dead cell at the same time I put IAC #4 in, so I don't know if they were related or not.

so were up to IAT, IAC, Plugs, Timing, Oxygen Sensors. I dunno what to try first

I think imma start with the oxygen sensors if i can find a place that sells them for a decent price. Can you get them for cheaper than $90 a piece ?

If you replace the IAC disconnect the battery first. I just replaced mine today and forgot to and had all sorts of problems at first. The PCM memmory relays a reading to the IAC based on whats stored from the first start up. If you replace the sensor with out resetting the pcm its just going to send the old readings and youll wind up with more problems then you had before.

i dunno what the IAC is or where its located i thought it was the IAT in the throttle body. Looks like i might buy two of these oxygen sensors and give them a try.

The IAC is the idle air controler. Its located in the back of the throttle body. It has a spring loaded plunger that plugs a hole in the back of the throttle body. By letting a controled amount of air to bypass the throttle body at idle it can control idle speed.
Heres a link to the part on Autozone

ya thats the thing i took out and cleaned and put back in. I cleaned it up nicely is there any way to test it to see if it is working ? I ordered a front and rear O2 sensor off of Summit. After installing these do i need to reset the computer or unhook the battery or should i work immediately ?

While replacing the IAC, you should pull the whole throttle body and clean it well. Also, seafoaming the engine helped significantly for my idle stalls as well. (They continued after the new IAC then I pulled everything, cleaned it, seafoamed it, and the problem is gone now).

ya i seafoamed it when i cleaned it, one or the other helped ALOT but its still there. Smoked the whole block out haha. Anyone know if the computer picks up the new 02 sensors immediatly or should i reset the Computer by unhooking the battery then hooking it back up.
