I tend to agree; assuming the connections are good and the bore is clean the unit should be replaced.
First check that you have no vacuum leaks.

Re: iac question /again (Frank92)
I would be suspicious of tb issues (worn shaft). However, if you want to try another IAC, I'll sell you a used one I know is working properly if you can't get one over there (off my '95, I think it's the same). lspalding@ameritech.net

Re: iac question /again (lspalding)
I started to get the IAC code when I use the AC and stop at a light. the RPMs drop to 500 or below, and bang light comes on. How hard is it to replace the IAC?

Re: iac question /again (Bluewasp)
thanks for response. i already have a new (1/2 y.o.) iac valve. i cleaned the intake yesterday but no change.
i remeber taht i took off the thin vacuum lines (under left cover) to reach the oil presuure switch (i changed the switch). from this moment she had the symtoms (rough idle). maybe i bent the map a litlle bit, so that maybe the small thing that goes into the left engine side is not sitting right in the middle (and stuck).
i´ll check these vacuum related things today and see what happens.
thanks frank
p.s. i hope i can visit the "great 50 years corvette meet" tomorrow in munich (germany)

Re: iac question /again (Bluewasp)
Bluewasp, to change the IAC you just:
-unplug the cable & unscrew the IAC
-clean the pintel bore with carb cleaner
-install the new IAC & plug in the cable
-set base idle, per method on my site

The IAC doesn't learn anything. Its just set wrong.
Search through the archieves on IAC and my user name you will find a few of the articles I wrote that explain the idle problems that people have. Its way to much to retype.
That is why I wish we had sticky posts. hint hint.
