    yea a couple it has a completly rebuilt engine from the crank an pistons all the way to valves an springs but it idled really high in park an neutral an misfired alot in drive but i was hangin up there at autotech where i took it an it had the mechanic stumped for a while then had the diagnostic comp on it an turned the car off an the mass air flow was at 0 on the screen an then checked the connector an it was at 13 volt so there was a short somewhere cause i dont think it should go over like 5 at max i went home an called later an he said he ran a new ground an then it dropped it down to normal 800 to 1000rpm an for some reason it went back up to 3000 after a few mins so he's messin with the tps hopefully should have it back by monday sorry so much to read

    Man, sorry to hear that. Wish I had some input for you. I was going to mention the tps, but didn't know if there were other post on it. Didn't want to repeat what has already been said. Hope they can get it figured out. Where is Brunswick close to. I am here in Athens. let us know what you find out. Good luck with it.

    did you re-learn the IAC valve when you re-installed everything, I think it needs a steady cruse at like 40mph for it to relearn the valve position, I learned this when I installed a new one in my car and it hit 2700+rpms in park
