no fire the car up let it warm up, then set you base idle to 900, make sure the screws on the tps are loose, then turn the car off and set the tps to no lower than .985

most of the time cleaning the iac makes no diff, i replace mine, its so much hassel tryng to clean it, so that may have a lot to do with it. most of the time if you take the car somewhere and say it will not idle they tell you that you have to replace the iac on the spot.
