Well its probably because you went from a 3 wire IAC valve to a 2 wire or you switched the TPS and MAP plugs.

na uh, i did have them switched up but i changed it and it still had the check engine light on- oh yea when i come to a complete stop sometimes it would idle so low it feels like its shut off and other times it would idle to about 2 grand somewhere around there.
