I just recently finished repairing a few electrical problems and the car was not idling properly, so I did the base idle reset, adjusted my idle to about 750rpms with the IAC disconnected car running, and then I shut it off, reconnect the IAC and wait 20 seconds,then the car doesn't start. The only way I have had any luck starting it is by resetting the computer, and pumping the throttle to get it started. When I do that it starts up fine every time I shut it off, unless I attempt the base idle reset. Who knows whats happening here. All I can think of is bad IAC, but I'd hate to go buy the autozone junk if mine is fine. Thanks

did you have it running fine before you tried setting your idle or was this an attempt to fix your idle?

the car was not running fine, it started up, and surged and when I took it for a ride, it stalled out at low revs, which is why I adjusted the idle. When I went to plug the IAC back in, after adjusting it with the iac disconnected, thats when it wouldnt start. It hasn't run in about 8 weeks before this.

setting the idle screw only sets where you want it to idle at, it wont fix surging.

check your tps voltage is between .6 and 1.01 on the green wire with key in the on position. get it started up again and verify base timing with spout out then set base idle after those things are done. if you are still having issues you need to run koeo/koer self tests to find out if you have codes and also check for vacuum leaks.

I am aware, I have timing at 10 degrees, tps voltage on the green wire is .8, also I have no vacuum leaks, it ran fine before it sat, nothing has been changed. I do need to run koeo/koer for codes

Are you sure there are not any vacuum leaks.

no vacuum leaks. pretty straight forward. I had it running fine without surging. Just would stall at low speeds when driving. Im positive theres no vac. leaks x2

hey have you tried the ignition switch? your car will do weird things if it is going bad. it had my car blowing flames out the back.
