I suggest removing the throttle body and clean everything up real good.

I don't believe I ever made one up. But you just unplug the 3 plugs, disconnect the 2 cables, remove the 3 nuts, and it comes right off. Remove the sensors and then clean everything up.

Alright, went out there to look around again(have about an hour before I have an important meeting to limp to), and there'* a hose that connects right below the IAC. It'* been taped up, but it'* obvious the connector part has a crack in it. The tape seems tight, but a crack is a crack right? The rest of the hose isn't cracked.

vacuum leak?

That would be a MAJOR vacuum leak. Replace that and see if that helps.

Went to look at it again and another part of it completely crumbled.

Superglued and taped it up like crazy to get me through the day.
Is that piece called anything specific in case the junkyard doesn't have a good looking one and I have to order it from the store? I'll take a picture of it if necessary.

You should be able to just use a generic vacuum hose and replace it.

Cool!

My iac valve has two scres holding it to the throttle body. (duh)
One of them is totally mangled. No edges for any screwdriver to use to unscrew it. How do I get it off?

Take the good screw out, grind the bad screw head off, then remove the IAC and use Vicegrips to twist out the headless screw. That'* the best way I can think of getting it out. Those screws might be too small to use Easyouts on.

On that dead rubber piece. Is that the one with only one hose attached or the one that splits into a T?
