Look into getting a Hayes or Chiltons manual (they only o up to 03, but its the same crap). They arent the best things in the world but they are really helpful for things like this, plus I use them for torque specs, and other little odds and ins.

I would say if you have the time it would be worthwhile to search for a thread called How To: IAC rev Mod since you're gonna have the IAC off anyways. Gets rid of the annoying throttle hang.

Just to give everyone an update, I removed my Intake Air Control (IAC) two days ago and shot it with a little carb cleaner as instructed. I have been stall-free for two days! haha It worked great, thanks again to everyone for the advice. Anyone who is still confused can email me, I will expain a little deeper
