Check the line going into your intake that comes off the idle air control valve. it may have some loose.

definitely, the IAC could be a possiblity, but the CEL could still be something else right? Think it'd be a good idea to get a scanner run over it to make sure the cats (or lack thereof) is the only thing setting off the CEL?

She will definitely be able to thaw out those fuel lines IF they're iced up!

didnt take anything off yet.....billy is buying my intake...but i just got it started again....it was choppy and a small amount of smoke rolled out from under the hood.....its still running right now and seems to have smoothed out almost to normal.....i dunno

lol im sure ill get some consolation from gina later on........but i just went out after letting it warm up a bit i revved it up to maybe 2 grand and smelled a burning smell.......F***!
