Correct me if I am wrong but if the throttle plate is closed, you plug off the IAC motor & it idles down, where is it getting air from? Randy

Am going to try pin a and b but not sure it will work as motor is 2001 and think I read that trick is for older motor but if it does I will ck timing
no i think you have found your problem,,if it idles good with 10-20% of the iac valve blocked,,,then what is the reason for having a large air intake at the iac,,,keep looking for a vac leak,,like randy was thinking

I am back thinking vacum also but here is what I did couldn't ck timing (never let your kids in your tool box .....light isn't working now)but got it in service mode no codes other than 12. Pulled then plenum retorqued bolts on intake they were a light looser than I would have liked book says 30lbs they were about 25lbs but still not right also checked iac plug two have power steady but two have nothing and book says all should be blinking power. Vacum is still a little low to be 10 to 15 that motor says 15 to 18 on pressure .
Thinking next think is to pull intake off and put new gasket on. What does everyone think worth the time.

alright think the computer is out it has a steady beep when you turn key on and pulling code 51 on ecm. just happy I can stop looking for a vacuam leak lol I have replaced every gasket on intake..
with a code 51 I have read the ecm is just shot but where do I go to get ecm it is a mefi 3 and local deaqler wants 1500 for the computer alone as he said they don't make them any more. what is my best way to go here?
