the iac is the idle stepper motor. It should rev up at cold for 6-7 sec then gradually go down to 7/800 rpm when engine is hot.

There is no adjustments necessary on OBD 4.0's. Just the earlier Renix prior to 91 need adjusting.

Just swap the TPS in your 94 and hopefully it'll fix your issue.

If you have the '97 motor you'll need to get the IAC from the dealer. I've fought this issue on my brothers '97.

The '97 part is very tight tolerance. We tried 3 from autozone, 2 from Murry's and 2 from Napa.. Dealer was the only one that got the ideal back to normal..
