Ok here is what i have been dealing with. When i start the car sometimes it idles fine and then sometimes all of a sudden it will race up to 2000 RPM on its own. When i disconnect the IAC idles fine, as soon as i plug it back in idle races up again. I have two IAC valves tried them both and they both do it.
checked the TPS voltage and is good.
Any thoughts.

The quick and easy way to dump the codes is in there too, and all you need to do it is a paper clip! The first two posts contain all the fixes & updates. At last count there were 24 possible causes and fixes for surging idle/stall problems. I continue to update it as more people post fixes or ask questions.
