do yourself a real favor and take the money you were going to spend on all these sensors that you are guessing at and buy a scanner instead... THEN you can actually buy the RIGHT part the first time and the time savings ALONE will make it worth while. it makes not a single whit of sense to shotgun a problem like this when you can actually know the answer for real this time and every OTHER time something happens.

I hear you, but a scan tool costs like $400 and I have to wait until the weekend to trouble shoot.
I'm going to stop buy Ocean Performance after work and spend $110 for an IAC and ECT. I should be able to change those 2 parts in about 1/2 hour.
If changing those parts does not work then maybe I'll invest in the scan tool.

i got mine on ebay for less than you are about to spend.

After dealing with this maddening problem for the better part of two years, I finally got off my butt and ordered a new IAC motor and TPS from BAM. Removed and cleaned the throttle body, installed the new parts and now the GD surging is gone. I have a 2007 GM 502 but the intake, etc. is from my 2000. If I were you I'd just order the IAC motor, clean the tb real good and install the new motor (2 screws, very simple) and I'll bet you'll be good to go.

I picked up an IAC and ECT tonight.
I'll let you all know how things turn out.
Thanks for the input!

Well guys I finally got out on the water to test after replacing the IAC and ECT.
She ran perfectly and idles at 600rpm in or out of gear.
Thanks for the help.
