ECM needs to learn the new IAC motor. Try it with the A/C on and off, and alternate between park and drive.

Did you follow the instructions for setting the iac pintle before installing it? If not try it again. Everything plugged back in right? If it fires let it idle for a while.

i did follow the instructions. plugged everything in rite. it will start then die if i dont hold the gas pedal down a lil. i also set idle but it wont stay on if i put it at 400rpm. im thinking that lazy guy at auto zone didn't give me the iac i needed so ima put old one on and take new one back.
