Ok. here is the formula: look at your lower intake manifold, look where injectors go where you see injectors there you put intake push rods all others are exhaust push rods.

just look at the injector position inside of the LIM the way you would install your LIM and you will not make mistake. Yes both sides are same.

check that throttle plate cable is not stuck or that something is not pulling on it, also try relearning IAC by pulling e-brake shifting into D and let it idle until cooling fan comes on. Don't do this if you have weak e-brake.

look at the throttle boy see if it is open or closed, should be closed at idle. Did you check if something is pulling on throttle plate cable?
