Problems with car resolved

All it was was a crossed iac wire.

Someone put a new pigtail and crossed 2 of the wires i fixed it at 2 am est....it was really bugging me and i wasn't gonna stop till i figured it out ..It made all kinds of problems go a way..Like new now..

See the new pigtail they put in was the wrong color codes so they prolly cut the wires and went (now What)...

Glad to hear you nailed it. I've done a few of those 2am "I an't stopping until it's fixed" sessions myself. Amazing how hard it is to actually go to sleep after one of them! You either want to wake someone up and show them how you fixed it (the fast way to being popular around any house) or you want to drive around for an hour just to be ABSOLUTELY sure it's fixed.

In his desense that's probably what a lot of people would assume, that the wiring is correct. Especially considering you weren't pay him. Can you imagine a free opinion from a doctor about a medical issue? It probably wouldn't be top notch.

Sorry, had to play a little devil's advocate.
