if the iac is showing 0 that means the computer isnt able to close it anymore to get the idle under control. Maybe a hose feel off and the engine is getting air from another source. Have you drilled a hole in your TB lately?

the hole in your TB is too big you shouldve stopped when they were 30-50 that is fine. Going the extra step is where your problem is at. Time for some jb weld or epoxy.....

thats just it.. before I drilled the hole out a bit more..
the IAC was reading 50-70...
after I drilled it out a bit it settle to 30-50...
and with the ac on after I drilled it out it was at 110 in drive..
(first time in a long time that it has been able to idle with the ac on )

any ways...
I am going to go out and see if some thing fell off..
but I dont think it did..

Are those numbers after the engine is warm or not?

I'm just curious if you were able to figure out why your iac is at 0. I'm having the same problem, my idle never goes below 1500 rpm.
