Still having weird idle problems...I just replaced the Throttle Position Sensor, Idle Air Control Valve, and the Phelum. The car idles too high at rest the movie shows this...once i unplug the IAC plug the car idles normal, but if i drive it with the IAC unpluged the car still has a tendoncy to hang around 3k rpms. The check engine light was on and i get P1504 which is Idle Air Control Circuit (duh I unplugged it). I've replaced almost everything, is it possible that I replaced a bad IAC with a bad IAC?

Yeah but the rpm still hangs around 3000 when driving, and the car feels like its running like crap.

Did the idle kick down when you unplugged the Throttle Position sensor? If not then next likely cause would be a vacuum leak somewhere.

Unplugging the TPS has no effect. I sprayed some TB cleaner around the intake and didnt get any surge so i assume that there is no vacuum leak. The only time the rpm drops back down to normal is when i unplug the IAC connector.

Try a new IAC valve I suppose then.....did you save the recipt from the old one? I got a bad EGR valve a few weeks ago from pepboys. It is possible.
