Well hello again!
Weird thing happened with my 98 SE Sport...
I drove it across town and back, running fine. Ran into the bank, came out and started no problem, but the fast idle wasn't kicking in, it would start and then bog.
If left alone it would idle about about 200rpm, but just applying the brakes and putting it in gear caused it to stall out. I drove it home like that, pulled the air filter and it was fine, unplugged the IAT and plugged it back in, now it's running fine! Any ideas? I'm afraid it will happen again as I'm taking it out of town this weekend...
All you feedback is hugely appreciated!
Thanks,
Koski

The IAT does not affect idle.

Clean or replace your IAC valve.
