Did you try to disconnect the MAF sensor?

Also, next time, can you not make another thread and just keep your responses in your original thread? This helps things stay cleaner and condensed. Thanks.

Did you try driving the car with the MAF unplugged? Just making sure...to be clear.

Even with the MAF unplugged, as well as plugged it?

Does the car idle when in gear? And then just dies when you try to move?

It sounds like you may have a vacuum leak. Can you hear air leaking anywhere in the engine bay?

If the only thing you did was change the IAC, and now it doesn't run right...with the symptoms you described, I am thinking vacuum leak. Try taking the IAC out, making sure the o-ring is still on it, making sure the IAC hole is clean, lubing up the o-ring with some light grease or Vasoline, and reinstalling it.
