Weird!! I just went outside 20 min ago to let the car warm up, for about 5 min before I go into work, which is where im currently at. Pull into dunkin donuts to grab a coffee on the way and shut the car off because they cant hear me over the intercom when the car is running, and start it back up and it doesnt want to idle? WTH!! I have to keep my foot on the gas in order for it to idle correctly. Once I leave my foot off, it drops to about 4-500 rpms and then dies, everytime. I limped it here to work, but what do you all think it could be when I take a look at it in the morning?

BTW Pork, I love your car, you def. did a nice job at keeping it simple and looking good! love the color.

Anyway, when my IAC went bad it never gave me any sign of going out. Car never acted up or anything. But one day it just dies while coming to a stop at a stop sign, it started back up but wouldn't stay on because the idle would drop and it would die. It did this at every stop sign and light until I got home. I cleaned it and it worked but I replaced it anyway just for a piece of mind.
