Me too, so far so good, put another five or six miles on yesterday, thanks for your input.

Sounds like a bad starter motor, hit it with a hammer if you can get to it, sometimes this will jar the armature causing it to spin.

Got my new hose today, i cleaned and re-installed the IAC Valve, i made sure to bleed the cooling system, I was ready with my plan to find the cause of the rough idle. I was going to pinch off the PVC hose, i was then going to pinch the fuel return line hoping to increase pressure, I was ready with my brake cleaner and fire extinguisher to look for any vacuum leaks.

To my surprise when i started the car, it went straight to high idle (Cold in Pittsburgh), upon coming up to temperature the idle dropped. As of now this is the best this car has ever idle since I’ve owned it. I have driven it about 5 miles so far.

Thanks

i found that earlier its a little confusing because there is no resistance reading between any of the pins however if i apply voltage to the center pin and ground the signal pin i can make the valve open and close

Thanks
