I haven't seen any evidence of testing your ignition coil.

Gotta rule it in or out before moving on....this is a process of elimination and coils can be tested.

The IAC controls the air at idle speed, or stopped with the engine running. A bad IAC will cause it to die at idle, hard to start, or not start at all. You could try starting it & putting the pedal to the floor to see if it will start at high RPM's. You will likely need someone spraying in starter fluid or carb cleaner into the throttle body while you crank it.

Would start with pinning or your connections.. Find it what the proper voltages and resistances you need at these sensors instead of throwing parts at it. A multimeter is actually a very handy tool.

I've also seen people clean it but not recomended. What I've noticed is that when its been off for awhile it starts right up no Issues. But ill definitly try to get this part tomorrow along with ignition coil

I recommend getting a repair manual such as from Haynes. It can help diagnose problems as well as how to test sensors and the ignition coil. Of course, you'll need a voltmeter.
