I've been working on this problem for a while, whenever work decides I can have my own time. The car has been having troule staying started in the morning, just cuts out as soon as it starts, like your turning off the car. Once its warm it seems fine, till you drive around and it idle high, like in the 1500 or so.

I've changed my tps sensor and cleaned the IAB valve with no luck. So this weekend I adjusted my idle.. . again .. but this time I was figuring maybe the IAB valve is bad.. and I was also thinking who needs a damn IAB anyway.. I'll just adjust the idle without it. So I adjusted it, ran wonderful all day till the next morning... now it takes a little more warming up to keep it going and it idles at like 500 sounds like its got a loped cam.. kinda cool... but then once it gets drven a while it will idle high, sometimes its drop down a bit, but then rise up again... like a light press on the gas. So any input would be appriciated... thanx
