-I've replaced the TPS with a brand new one. I'm going to test it when I get the TB off the car soon.
-The IAC was replaced a long time ago, but with a used one. I want to get a new one, and I think I may this weekend. May as well.
-The problem has been bad for a while. It started happening when I first got aw P0420 code (EGR flow). Travis is sending me a low mileage EGR valve and solenoid and I'm going to replace it.
-The bored TB looks fine. It's going straight through and the butterfly plate is excellent. No leaks or anything.
-Gasket brand new. Everything is hooked up great, no leaks.
-PCV valve and hoses are new.
-Air filter is clean.
-Fuel filter was changed last year.


I have some time on Sunday, so I think I'm going to take care of it then. Going to take off the TB, sensors, get a new IAC, clean everything, and test everything. Then reseal all the gaskets and see if that changes anything. If not, once I get the EGR in, I'll install that and see if that fixes anything. If not then, then it's going to my shop for diagnostic check. Sound good?
