fix it now, hopefully it works now?

It didn't show anything about IAC in the owners manual.

Ohh, The first picture, one with A B C on the black box, is right beside the Throttle body. Well now thinking about it im thinking it might be the throttle body?

I looked, and believe i found both IAC vavle and the TPS, How do i know if those are bad?

That looks like part of the MAF sensor. On the 3300, it appears to be connected to the TB. The TB has the cable from the gas pedal attached to it.

I'm not really sure. I don't think so. I think its just one of those weird looking things that looks like it supposed to be connected, but isn't.

Yes, thats the fuel pressure test port.

Those you pretty much have to test them electrically. The IAC valve might just be dirty..you can take it out and see if its full of crap. You can take it out and clean it with carb/fuel injector cleaner.

I would assume so. If you have a multimeter that measures resistance, you can do it yourself.

Alright, well here's a little write up and explanation of how to test and replace one, along with the list of symptoms.

I'm not sure. You might want to bring your old one in with you..I was reading earlier on the that someone had a 3.8L LeSabre and had a bad IAC, so he went to a JY and got one of of a car the same year, same motor, and it was different..
