Does the PCM need to relearn when new IAC?

Does the PCM have to go through a relearn process if I install a new IAC (Idle Air Control Valve)?

I think don't think so. Did you disconnected the battery?

[SMWS6TA]

I have gotten the part yet, will pick up on way home. Just wanted to know if it did.

This high idle (1000 rpm) has become a mission to figure out why.

I will disconnect the battery swap the IAC and reconnect. See what it does.
Have you tried the TPS procedure for it to learn the default TB blade position?

yep and no change...after talking with Cutlas, it's either this or a tuning issue. I wanted to knock this out before I send it to Frost to look at it.

I was going to say has the idle been like that since you own the vehicle?

[SMWS6TA]

well, I got the new IAC in and still no change

It did drop it to a steady 950-1000 rpm but no more. with a/c on it's 1100.

Hey Jay, did you do the air pump delete?

I ask because I traced my HVAC line to make sure it didn't get cracked or broke. Just by the PCM I see that it splits and the line follows the wire harness around to the front.

I believe this goes to the air pump which I deleted. If I'm correct it hasn't been capped off yet and that could be my vacuum leak.

yes that could be a leak. Reach behind the intake and make sure you only have one line coming out. Follow the single line and it meets at a 3 way valve. Disconnect the line that comes from the intake and cap it off. See if the idle gets better. Your a/c vent are not going to work properly but you are trying to see if there is a vacuum leak in the rest of the tubing after the 3 way valve.

I just tried it and No change in idle except if I left it off, then it wouls rise up a little.

I doubt is a vacuum leak then. I will think that maybe the idle was set to 1k rpm by a tuner. Has it always been like that? have you sprayed carb cleaner around the engine looking for a gasket leak?

[SMWS6TA]

yes on carb cleaner, well this leaves me sending it to frost for a retune or live with it till I do h/c.

so the idle is been like that since you own it?

Yes, I even tried switching back to my stock TB and that was with the LS1 intake too.

[sjsingle1]

when i put in a PP TB i also put in a new IAC......when i 1st fired it up it was idling around 2000......i trying all sorts of things to get the idle down......i finally shut the engine off and cranked it back up......idle went back to normal.......go figure

[SMWS6TA]

I've start/stop even took for a 40 min drive and still settles at 1000 rpm so I know now it is not the IAC.
