hey guys... ok so the other day i was driving to school and my car just shut off while driving... started right back up and no probs or check engine light... so i thought nothing of it... a day later my idle rpms were normal but my safc and scan guage were showing 4-6 thottle % and i wasnt on the gas at all just sitting at a light... then while driving my a/f's would go all over the place... just cruising it would go to 10.0 and bounce to 16 and back to 14 an the car would hessitate a lil... and if im driving and a drop it into nuetral my rpm's would hang at about 2k and then once i come to a complete stop it would go back to normal idle rpm but again the safc would show 4-6 throttle %... i asked turbomatt if he had any suggestions and he said TPS wires were bad... so i put in the s&p rewire kit and a new TPS and the problem is still there.... can anyone shed some light on this at all... any sugesstions or people that have had the same prob.... this is pretty urgent as my srt is my daily driver and only car... thanks, -matt-

What do you mean thanks -Matt- are you mad at me??
If it starts up w/o cycling the key, then I would imagine it could be something as simple as the IAC wiring or the IAC itself. When the IAC goes open, it shuts, which would shut off all air assuming you're off the throttle. Are you off the throttle, or was it open throttle when it died?

when the car shut off on my i was just cruising in 4th gear... but as far as the hanging idle im completely off the gas and it shows 4-6 throttle %... on the IAC does it matter which way it goes in? like with the plug on the sensor pointin up or down... cuz on my 62mm throttle body it has 2 holes but the IAC has only one on it where it bolts to the tb

While the car is shut off, remove the cold pipe from the throttle body. Then start it up, and put your finger over the IAC passage inside the throttle body. @ idle the only way air can get in is through that passage. If you cover it, the car should die. If it doesn't, you know you have to look for a vacuum leak.
