Unplug the sensor. Meter on ohms, probe red and black wire on sensor.

as far as your fast idle, I would make sure you have the appropriate restriction in the crankcase venting system. I upgraded to a newer valve cover and it uses a tighter restriction so my idle is low. if yours has no restriction or not enough, it might cause it to idle high.

Interesting idea for sure.

Okay good.
Unplug the fixed orifice fitting from the valve cover and put your finger over the opening.

Orifice. See what the idle does.

At idle, what does the engine do if you plug the hole above the IAC with your finger?

I'm wondering if this high idle issue isn't because of the HO throttle body.
