    Put the pressure to 39.

    Warm up the engine, unplug the IAC and see if it stays running. If not, turn the idle screw up till it idles at about 750 rpm.... recheck your tps. If you have to crack the throttle blades quite far, to get it to run, and the tps goes out of a range where you cant adjust it, make sure there is a small hole in the T-body throttle plate... about 3/16" should do.... if not, drill one and try again
