The shop probably figured that had to make something up to cover a rookie mistake.

Just for future information, the IAC is a $26 part from the auto parts store so if your idle ever shows problems again, it's a common part that fails and for $26 and about 15 minutes time you can replace it and rule that one out.

Do you have the part number of the IAC from a parts store. Most parts guys around here wouldn't know how to look it up if you don't give them a year and make of the car/truck. I would like to keep a spare on hand for $26

I think that Checker, O'Reilly and a few other stores carry this brand. $26 vs. the merc part #805224A1 which is nearly $100

Thanks Chico&Zues, I drive right by O'Reillys on the way to work everyday, so I will swing in and pickup a spare. In fact I might go ahead and change mine in the off season, and then clean mine to use for the spare.
My garage at the lake is the place where all my friends come to fix there boats, and it seems like it's always the first day of a holiday weekend that someone has a problem. Have saved many Holiday weekends for my buddy's.
