could be crappy gas, mine did that on one tank of gas that i got somewhere in newmarket. I filled up after that and the problem went away. Maybe add some octane booster if you filled up at a crappy gas station.

i think the IAC is responsible for only cold start up, but im not 100% sure, the helms can be had at the dealer but costs a pretty penny. Chilton and Haynes are cheap
