Tossed in the old IAC and had the battery unhooked for an hour or so, I guess time will tell if my situation changes ! Haha the brand of aftermarket IAC I got was "bwd"

Also I've noticed a difference in the way it starts in the cold and in the heat.. Morning time when its colder out the truck won't idle stalls out, it starts fine when I press the gas a little, and then after the motor warms up a bit it runs fine!
After work when its been sitting in the sun all day I go to start it and just cranks ! No fire then I give a little gas and it starts up and idles fine ??
I guess the motor retains enought heat that it can idle right away ?

HEYYOU to the rescue again, so far so good with the old IAC seems to start fine every time now. A little more time will confirm 100% but I'm guess bad IAC out of the box or like you said it adjust to slowly !! Crappy parts haha
