Ok....so my 95 gt with 125k began to have a rough idle and sometimes it was difficult to start, so I took off the IAC and cleaned it....after that, there was a noticeable difference.....but sometimes there was still a difficult start.

I bought a new IAC and when putting it on, I stripped the bottem thread, yikes....it looks like it is pretty tight though.....anyway.....now my car idles at 2500 rpms.....I disconnected the darn thing, and there is no difference.

I disconnected the battery for 30 mins, and there was no difference.

Is it possible to put one on backwards, cause the one I bought came with an extension cable for the plug.

Help......I will probably have to buy a new TB which I had planned anyway....with the top screw nice and tight the seal looks pretty good. I am out of town for a week, or else I would remove my old TB and reset the bottom screw.

Thanks

make sure its the right IAC, also try holding it as tight as you can to the TB to see if that makes a difference
