Fuel Pressure regulator, I had the same problem, did you just do exhaust or something? Get an adjustable fuel press regulator and turn the psi up a few pounds, stock psi is 39.

It's that big ugly pile of metal on the side of the TB thats towards the front of the car. it has two bolts holding it on and one connection on the bottom, and if you forget to plug it back in....your car won't idle.

I checked it out yesterday with one of my friends, he said that by the way it's acting it's surely the IAC, so I'm ganna clean it tonight in Carb Cleaner and see what happens... Anything special I should do while cleaning it? I know I gata be careful about the spring inside but is there anything else?

Thanks,
Jo
