Good job throwing parts at the engine.

Did you ever look up the failure code and follow the troubleshooting directions?

Exactly which sensors did you replace? It is unlikely you replaced "every" one of them. List them by name.

Describe any symptoms besides that it's "making you crazy".

"Throwing parts at the engine"... LOL.... LMAO... Wait til it starts throwing them back at you.. Mine does. :P

That's why I only work on mine at night. That way the neighbors don't notice.

I love this board.

You may already know but that code is for iac valve over speed error. Did you replace your iac valve already.

How about taking it in for a scan?

All the $$$$ you spent on throwing parts on it could have paid for a scan and repair.

You must get a Christmas card from your parts guy!

You might want to check your pcv valve because the pcm is calibrated to a certain amount of flow around the iac and throttle body so that the iac valve duty cycle at idle is around 30% at idle, so I would look at things like your pcv valve being clogged, and if your throttle body has lots of gook around it and the butterfly or in the drilled holes, it will cause the pcm to drive the duty cycle up to about 45-50%, or more, so that it will idle properly. This code will usually only be set in the older obdII vehicles, also if you don't change your oil regularly it will help to clogg up your pcv system, seen it before, will see it again. Oh yeah, when you were throwing your wallet, and parts, at this thing did you have a helmet on incase it chunked something back?
