are you having problems with the o2 sensor or the iacv? correct me if i'm wrong, aren't those 2 different parts with 2 different functions?

an iacv= idle air control valve, controls and reads the flow of your idle. usually located on the throttle body.
an O2 sensor= controls/ reads the flow of wasted gases as it exits on the exhaust manifold.
please correct me if i'm wrong. that's about it for me.

never touched the iacv on the tb. Just tried to remove the heat shield on e manifold and didnt have the right wrench!....then i fooled with the o sensor thinking that it would just TWIST off ....what an idiot! Now its idling at 450 instead of like 750....stalled once already!

did you go over your service manual before doing anything?
