Re: iac question
If you haven't replaced the steel lines with hoses now would be a good time. Be careful with all hoses, they're old. What's your reason for this. I pulled mine at 14 years and 54K miles and they were both clean. No, you don't have to reset the ecm. Not sure what you mean by reprogram. If you remove the IAC from the the TB don't push on the pintle.

Re: iac question
the ty died on me today. i was cruizing and i noticed the steering wheel kinda stiffen up the i saw my rpms were at zero. so i pulled off the side of the road. i thought my fuel pump took a crap, but i could hear it come on when i turned the key. i just did plugs like 3 days ago, i checked to make sure they were still on. they were fine. so i cranked it over and i didnt want to start. so i letbit cool down for a while then i cranked it over, it started but it idled like crap, then it stalled out. so i start checking grounds all seem fgine. then i crank it over and it starts so i kinda give it some gas and t ke off. luckily im literally about 200 ft from my Bosses house. i pull in there and tell hm what happened. anyway i let it cool down and it starts right up and i get home fine (only 5 minute
away).. though it still kinda idles rough even when its warmed up. yeah i already have 3/4 hose from the upper ic to the cooler. what do you think?

Re: iac question
i have no idea when it was changed last. ive owned the ty for 2 weeks now. ill change the fuel filter tomorrow if its not the iac.
i already have the iac apart. i didnt, unscrew it, just took out the littlee torx screws. i jUst sprayed both the iac and tb with brake/ electronic cleaner. when iit dries im gonna put it back on and see what happens.
shoould i get an adjustable fuel pressure regulator and a guage on it?
if so i get one from summit racing tomorrow. im about 20 min from there.
ill also get an walboro 255 pump.

Re: iac question
ok.....it started right up and it idled ok....so i took it down the road and idled a little ruff. but when it warmed up it was fine. i was able to take out the iac....and it looked perfectly fine, but i still carefully cleaned it off a little, with some electrical cleaner and a old toothbrush.....
when i took it down the road the check engine light flickered on for a split sec, it did this twice.
i got home put it in the garage and let it idle for a Bit. it still had a ruff idle, but i didnt stall out.
im gonna get a afpr and a fp gauge and a fuel filter tomorrow.
also how much are datamasters? i know a guy who has one and im gonna get the ty on it tomorrow, to see what it says is wrong. thanks everyone for your help, if you think of anything else it could be, let Me know.
