    I just replaced the IAC. Weird.
    Should I just drive it around for 2 to 3 days?

    Thanks!

    Did you happen to clean the MAF while you had the intake apart?

    Clean the MAF (with MAF safe cleaner), pop off the electrical harness and clean that with electric contact cleaner. Pull the EFI fuse while you do that to reset the ECU, and then go drive it around.

    The first thing I'd try is some MAF cleaner, and check to make sure you don't have any loose or broken wires on the connector.

    Just looking at those codes- I would also suspect a vacuum leak. I assume you would have had to remove the TB and any associated vacuum lines. Judging by the corrosion in your picture, if you haven't replaced before any vacuum lines, they are probably due for replacement. I would also double check that the IAC and specifically the gasket were installed correctly and air isn't getting through there.

    I will replace those 5 rubber hoses connecting to Throttle body that I took off to clean it.
    thank you.

    since you mentioned the IAC gasket

    when I first started it, some smoke was coming out of thar area, about as much as a big drag on a cigarette, then it went away. Could that be throttlebody cleaner, and the coolant that I let drip from the line?
