first off sorry if this is a repost. i put my 2nd 3sgte back together tonight. went to start it and found that it doesn't hold an idle. if i give it gas every thing is fine, but when i let off the pedal idle falls and eventually the car dies.
eliminated the neutral safety switch as well as boost/vacuum leaks as being the problem. not a fuel issue, or battery concern either! i have two or three grounds in the engine bay. wanna say it's the air flow sensor. any suggestions, or advice is appreciated!

Mine does the same thing, my iac isn't doing anything and a new one isn't a cheap date... $200 list price for me from napa, or car quest. I just set idle by setting the idle screw to about 900 rpm
