I cleaned out the IAC and put it back on... except I watched the piston work with the hose off.
The piston wouldn't move at all... I had it Idleing and up to about 1/2 throttle and nothing moved so I'm going to purchase one and save myself the headach of my car not starting.

WHT I don't have an AF guage and haven't been to a dyno yet. I think I'm running a little off and want to go to a dyno for just that reason. BTW Does the Diablo preditor give AF ratios to help you tune?

I'm off to buy an IAC...

IAC... 55 at Auto zone + over a week of order time or 88 today at the mercury dealer...

88$ later and 2 mins of my time to take off and reinstall 2 screws shw runs fine.

I guess I hadn't noticed the symptoms... My car would Often Idle at 1.5 K or even sometimes 2K ... I thought it was just my AC kicking in or something. Now .75... bid difference... will probabally help with gas mileage as well

Thanks so much guys for all the quick responses and helpful advice... I greatly appreciate it and so does my stang

Keep me informed. Recently I've watched at idle, my RPMS spike to 1500-2k and stay there for a short while & I've struggled to get 250+ out of a tank lately, starting to think my IAC is going on me..
