Troubleshooting Request! [SOLVED] Options

[rave2n]

Hello all. On my way home from work this evening, the cellie died.

I was just taking off after a light, and it started to feel like it was stalling in 1st when the gas about half down. It seems to have recovered and was going alright. Drove normal...til the next light. Did it agian, but worse.

After stalling completely while going 35, pulled over. Had trouble starting up, but would start. Idle was crazy, but tapping the gas you could get it up to 4k rpm easy. That didn't last long either. It started to drop asoon as I hit the gas after that. Now it'll have a really rough start up, then run like crap for about 10 seconds, then just dies.

I checked for any obvious leaks or anything of the sort..nothing. My limited knowledge of engines is a hinderence atm. I do know, you need air, fuel, spark. I have air, I have spark. So, my question is...do you guys think my fuel filter, pump, or injector is bad?

The spark plugs are less then a year old, the only recent thing i've done is got a oil change, and put in LED BA-15 bulbs in my rear lights =P

Any assistance would be greatly appreicated, as right now its sitting in a parking lot of a not so wonderful area. Hoping its something I can fix quickly and available at a local shop..

Pretty sure I found the problem...

I drove home today, same issues as stated in previous posts, lifted the hood and heard a buzzing noise I never heard before....It sounded like it was near the throttle body, I just trying to find it, and it turned out to be this thing.



.it had 2 lines coming from it, and a harness connector, and was mounted right above the firewall, one line going to the top of the intake manifold, the other seemed to be the bottom of the intake manifold. When removing it, the lines were fused together with the plastic, and just shattered inside the line...so need new lines, and whatever the hell that thing is. If it is the IAC, anyone have one of these laying around...cause they aren't cheap, and special order from Autozone or the simliar.

Side Note: Does anyone know what the hell that is? I cannot find it by part number, and from I've read on sites its saying it a A/C idle up valve, but searching for that at a parts store doesn't show anything...

I think its the vacuum solenoid valve
