Wow, That was a fast reply. So im guessing its like replacing the tps sensor. It wasn't hard at all. Well Thank you for the advise. Ill have to fix it tomorrow when its light out
I just did mine today and after boosting mine was half way out then i heard a load air coming from it iidling super fast i thought i stuffed the motor found out it was the Idle Air Control Valve was missing 1 screw it was almost hanging out only barley put the screw in fixed the problem.

I have before many times so i bought a heap of them for spares cuz its that easy to lose it.

I changed mine becaise it would idle to fast and wouldnt slow down once changed eveything was all good.

the reason i asked is i am also having an idle prob.
but it occurs intermittently.
when it occurs, the rpm fluctuates from about 700 to a little higher than 1000.
i already cleaned the IACV, but the prob persists.
other things i observed:
-with the aircon turned off at engine start, after a short while my cooling fans are switching on (and off) even though engine is still cold (few minutes after start, needle on 1st line in the temp gauge)
-when i turn on the aircon, the compressor is switching on and off by itself erratically ( i hear it clicking on and off like crazy)
and from this "situation", when i turn off the engine and start it gain, the rpm will quickly jump to 3000 then back to about 1000
