      I would pull the fuse, turn the key to on and check to make sure you don’t have a power grounding out issue. Sounds like the positive side of the circuit is grounding and causing an immediate failure.

          WOW,
          I did not clean the IAC and did not remove the throttle body. I have been driving it now about 2 weeks post repair and the idle problem seems to have slowly gotten better, however the return to idle is still slow. I hope that a video about this makes it to production. Thanks for all the comments and advice.

            I have always followed a simple rule if the bolt was tight when you removed it and there wasn’t any on there you don’t need it. Manufacturers spend A LOT of effort to find out if they really need little things like this or not. They save a ton of money by not putting things like this in when they are not needed. I have seen a lot of times when mechanics (personal and professional) put it on as an added safeguard only to cause a major problem for the next guy.If it was not there before you most likely don’t need it.
