IAC reading over OBD-II? Okay, not really a tuning related question, but kinda PCM related 
.
Anyway, few things about my car. One, my idle tends to hang a bit when I take it outta gear and come to a stop. Two, my LTFTs are always positive...like maybe ~5 idleing, and even 7 to 9 on the highway. Three, the IAC value as read over OBD-II is always 0.
Now, I haven't exactly been watching the IAC value as closely as I've been wathcing my fuel trims, etc (because I dont really know what the value represents). But I am now lead to beleive that this shouldn't be 0, and that it being zero may indicate a vacuum leak. Correct?
What should the value be typically? ...while the engine is warming up? ...while driving? ...while idleing?
Any help is appreciated

It could be showing a vacuum leak, but IAC ought to
show values other than zero when you are cruising and
at startup. If it's -always- zero, that seems more like a
scan tool problem to me.
