This last Friday I went to the store after work and my talon drove fine. When I left, it barely ran, had a horrible time trying to idle, and could barely build enough power to drive up a hill. When I got home, I found the vac line to my fuel pressure regulator had popped off. I reconnected it and my car has been fine. However, during that time, the CEL came on and my scanner reported no codes the first time. After I got home, I had a P00AC code that stated it was manufacturer specific. I can't find any info on this code anywhere. Found P00AB relating to the IAT sensor, but that's it. Today at work I used our SnapOn scanner and it doesn't evenist that code as being active, stored, pending, or history. Scanned it with my BluePoint scanner again, and it still had the code as active. Any ideas?
 
Yes unfortunately. I would test the sensor and harness first to be sure. You could always switch to a GM IAT with some simple stuff if you have ecmlink.
 
So to "replace" the IAT, the MAF itself must be replaced right?
Yes but it still could be just a loose MAF connector or some pin. Clear the code and check the MAF connector if all wires has a good contact. If the code would come up again then probably you need to replace the MAF.
