Sounds like you need a new IAC (idle air controle motor)

When was your last tune-up?

 

[ddtalon95]

the IAC is new just 3 or 4 days old and the motor was just overhauled i ran the computer codes yesterday and it said theres a short in the wiring to the IAC how hard is that to fix? or does that involve replacing the whole wiring system

 

[bwild97]

How extensive was the overhaul? Check for pinched wireing harness around the intake area. The IAC maybe shorted internally.

 

[ddtalon95]

the motor was redone from bottom-up

For starters, we do have a 420A tech section.

As to your problem, check ALL of the wires connected to the IAC; follow those wires all the way to the ECU. If that proves useless, whoever remanned that IAC for you messed up. Go to Autozone and buy a professionally remanufactured one with a return policy. The other alternative would be to pull a junkyard one.
