Idle goes to crap after warm up
I've got a 93 country i just traded for a paint job on the nieghbors house. 183,000 miles. I've just finished with a tune up(plugs,wires,cap and rotor and filters) and once its up to temp, the idle goes to crap....eventually shutting the vehicle off. I haven't replaced the o2 sensor or the MAP sensor. I'm wondering if these are a likely culprit or should I go to the fuel system(injectors,pump,etc..)?

Try either ignition coil, or possibly crank position sensor. The coil can go bad and short out internally when it gets hot so that would be a starting place. The IAC only controls how much air is allowed through the intake at idle and does not contribute to the quality of the idle.

I had one that when it got warm it would run like crap. On cold days it was fine. Someone said, "Try the vacuum lines for cracks, sounds like it's getting a loss somewhere." Sure enough there was a crack in one of the lines. So I replaced em all. Ran fine after that.
