My cars idle was a little too bumpy, and hard to start after it was warmed up sometimes. I searched the threads, and found some entries about guys taking there IAC sensor on the side of the throttle body, and flipping it upside down. I decided to give that a try, and my idle went up about 200 rpm, and didn't feel like it was going to die went slowing down and shifting to neutral. I went ahead and adjusted the idle down a few hundred, and inturn reset the TPS to about 1.0 volts. It seems to start better when warm, and the idle a little better. Just throwing this out there, maybe someone else will find it helpful.

JRichker has an idle surge thread in the useful threads Sticky, and this is one of items on there (I've run across it myself. It usually applies to certain aftermarket IAC's).

Thanks for the feedback.
