Re:car sputtering
Check all gaskets that have been removed. Heres another thing to try. Take the plug off of you IAC let it idle for a while till it comes up to temp. Then set your idle with the idle screw. When it is set put the plug back on and you are good to go. You might want to reset your ECU also.

Re:car sputtering
that's just it, it's not a bad idle and the car runs great except for once in a blue moon the iacv cel pops on and the idle goes high and it starts sputtering when i press the gas this has only happened 3 times, then i park the car for a while, reset the ecu, and everything is fine? other than these three instances, the car runs/idles perfect with no cel, i guess it's just a mystery i'll have to live with :P
