If the idle is low only after starting a cold engine, then clean the FITV on the throttle body. Otherwise, clean the IACV on the throttle body.

To my recollection, this is the first time I have fixed someone's car in their dreams. Maybe it's a good sign that I didn't screw up the job!

I did the same swap, it has to do with the O2 sensor difference between the two engines. I ended up having to cut one of the small O2 input tubes and splitting it into a Y so it could go to both of the sensors.
