like i always say " drive around for about 30,000 t0 40,000 miles the bulb will finaly burn out." or you can put a piece of eletricans tape over the bulb :)

What manifold did you replace, intake?

If you check the error code it will instantly tell you what's wrong.

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.
