replaced the IAC because the symptoms pointed to a faulty IAC, (surging randomly, high /low rpms randomly) and then the car finally wouldnt stay on after starting, rpms dropped low, and the car stalled. put new IAC in, worked fine a few days, now problems are back, replaced twice.

however, they are aftermarket IAC's (not ac delco) - thought maybe try with an ac delco as ive heard some parts must be OEM to coinside/function properly on some cars (but i cant be sure to say its not an old wives tale either...) any truth to this?
