Re: putting my motor together, pizza, beer and music provided, details inside!
well the only things like oil, filters, plugs, brake cleaner, shop towels, etc that i dont have im getting when i pick up my gaskets
i've got my moms car i can borrow for a run into town if need be, but i'd like to avoid it because the closest store with any import parts is 50 miles away
thanks for the advice guys, i hope it goes smoothly after all the ---- i've gone through to get this far

seriously take off the throttle body before dropping the engine in, i've done 3 swaps and broke the TPS twice, the other time the plug got cracked. it's only four bolts.....

This is when I ask, what you're smokin. Plugging the Purge (or IACV since they are the same) plug into the IAT will not USUALLY ---- it up. The resistance of a "cold" IAT is around the 3K area and a 12volt signal across 3K does not have enough current to mess the IAT up. It will however, fry if you swap that ---- when the IAT is nice and toasty like say above 100 degrees F. So normally this does nothing and the time when it usually gets swapped aroung is when the engine is cold.
JD is right though, it does happen.

IACV gets a pulsed ground. Purge solenoid gets a steady one that has a certain amount of current flow guaranteed due to the nature of a saturated transistor... IAT is a fraction of a watt rated piece that normally dictates it's own current consumption based on a 5vref, and the ECU just monitors voltage dropped across it passively. This is why purge<-->IAT swappage likes to fry the IAT. IACV<-->IAT might, but I see a much smaller chance of doing so due to the nature of the beast, and that IAT live for a minute sometimes mis-plugged to purge.
