Ok, It used to be that my Idle would race... (like 2-2.5k) then it got to the point where I would stall at any speed when I let off the gas and pushed into the clutch.. So I tried cleaning it. Now its back to racing again?!? Is this normal.. did I not clean it correcly/thoroughly?? I used brake cleaner by the way.. usually it does the same thing as carb cleaner..
Do I need to lubricate anything to get it to work correctly?

If you don't have any CEL codes, maybe it is time for a new IAC valve.

oh yes, I forgot I do have a CEL I had it pulled and cleared. One of my banks was too lean.. since being cleared it's come back. How does this play into things?

You probably have a vacuum leak if you got a lean code. Might have to do the carb cleaner spray test on gaskets, joints, etc. When you have a change in idle, you found your leak. What is the new CEL code?

I was getting the same code and the idle would race a bit as well. Mine was actually the lower intake gaskets being bad.
Do you ever get a fuel smell after coming off of the gas?

Yep. Happens. That's why I said time for rebuild. Just assuming one would get new gaskets. Get a new IAC as well. And ger a Ford part. Not aftermarket for that. Prolly one of the few factory parts to stick with.

2 month old IAC valve popped a leak on me. It was leaking from the metal cap part of it. It happened soon after I did the TH fix.

Actually I cleaned and rebuilt my UIM and secondaries about 20k ago and replaced the gaskets. Do you think this could still be the problem?
Oh, and todd I'll be back in GH this weekend to put the boats in at my parents house if your going to be around.
