Idle switch or something??

When I got my truck back from the guy working on it (minor stugg,TLC) he said it needs an idle switch or something so it doesn't die after startup. Now it dies unless reved for a few minutes after a cold start. Can anyone tell me where to get it/the real name for it (I'm not sure if it's a switch or what).

Sounds like you're talking about the IAC (Idle Air Control) valve... GM #17112193, although I think I got mine at a local auto parts store. Screws into back of throttle body. You'll need a big socket (22-24mm?) to R&R it w/ the TB on; otherwise, you can pull the TB & use a cresent wrench, carefully.

I nkow he said the gm dealerships dont carry it and cant get it anymore, but that might be it.

Gm and other manufacturers used to use throttle kickers, which are solenoids used to bump up the idle when the A/C is on. I hope this person isnt trying to retrofit one of these to your SY.
