Did you hook it up to a scanner? because I thought it was an IAT but it was a "short blink" which is primary o2 sensor.

When the IAT sensor defective idle speed may be correct, it all depends how much cheating. Damage to the sensor may be affected by the increased combustion of fuel

Please place simple tech questions directly into the thread title - edited.

If you reset the ECU, does the IAT code return? If so, is the IAT plugged in?
