I figured that or a leaking injector,,, I did the test that was on 65Z01 website and no luck,,, but I am steering toward bad or faulty IAC, who stocks these things

:iagree: IAC

You might try http://www.NAPAAUTOPARTS.COM search on idle air valve. I found one there for $32.00

:iagree:
You can try cleaning the IAC pintle and it's bore but you may need to replace the IAC. After you service the IAC set base idle (method on my site) but you won't need to tweak the TPS as your's isn't adjustable.
