I've got this weekend to play around with it... might get to it tonight if I can. When I cleaned the throttle body I did have the IAC off and cleaned it the best I could. I didn't really know how heh. I did do a test on the CPS with a multimeter and it tested ok. From what I've read they can be a real PITA to take off, but I'll try that if nothin else works.
I've run a few tanks of fuel through it and changed the fuel filter so I don't think it's bad gas.
I'll start with the IAC, recheck my TPS and go from there
Thanks guys

Well, I guess the head gasket is toast. Or the head/block is cracked cause now I got antifreeze in my oil! I'm guessing when I seafoamed it it cleaned out the 20 years of carbon buildup, thus probably all I had in the way of the oil/antifreeze.
Just a few questions...
What else should I get when I pick up a head gasket? Any other seals etc?
Any tips to make the job easier?
I'm in Alberta Canada so if anyone has a spare head in good shape kicking around I'd be happy to take it off your hands at a reasonable price.
