I bet your intake manifold gasket or gaskets are leaking.

Edit: \/\/See I told you so

I had this issue with my Lude......i searched and searched and tried all those suggestions and nothing worked. I finally took the intake manifold off and found that the gasket was damaged. I changed it and its been working fine ever since.

Did you upgrade to a thermal IM gasket? They last almost forever and won't stick.

where do you get the thermal im gasket? available at regular auto parts places just like the regular ones, or do you need to order them from someplace online? mine's got the same idle problem and it wasn't solved by the iacv
