I know you had some issues with the TB, but is it all that F'ed?

We can get your back to idleing right once you get it to run. dont worry about the high idle. we will run through the idle reset process.

after doing it on my modded 90 everytime I tore it/rebuilt down, it idles solid.

It's got to run first

The people who drilled out my old IAC somehow got the shaft from the IAC lodged in the TB flow ports. (if you understand that)

Well that dose not sound good if you can't get them clear most likely will have to replace it. I was thinking when they drilled it out they oversized the bore a little bit and was not seating right by the way you were talking.

I don't want the shaft from the IAC to get sucked into the intake while im driving down the road.

not the TB flow ports, but the ports where the IAC lets the air through, it got lodged in the first hole.

and i hate throwing money at them lol.

i figured out that its my MAF..with it unplugged, car runs great, accepts throttle and everything.

With it plugged in, car idles, but if you touch the gas it stumbles and backfires and sometimes stalls
