Left the spell checker off for that post eh?

Start by replacing the main relay cause its just going to get worse.

As for the IAC... I've read that like 3 times now and I can't tell if you replaced it with another one, or just cleaned out yours and put it back on.

Are we to understand that code 14 is still coming up, or a different one now?

ok is the car running fine now at least? if so then the code might just be stored on the ecu and will keep coming up until you wipe it with an obd2 reader. That was the case with the last car i had.

I know this is a stupid question, but did you re-install the rubber o-ring between the IAC and intake manifold??
