Well last night I took off the IAC off and cleaned the screen. It was dirty, but didn't really appear clogged. I also cleaned the line and confirmed it wasn't blocked. Once I got everything reinstalled, I started the car again and still got the Check Engine light. I decided to read the code again, and this time it read 41 (which is a heated O2 sensor code). I don't know if I originally read it wrong or what, but the code was flashing "41" and not "14". I even had someone read the code just to make sure. I have noticed over the last several months that my fuel milage has dropped like 3-4 MPG. A bad O2 sensor could likely be causing that. So with this info, and the fact my car really does seem to idle okay (or maybe just a hair rough), I'm going to replace the O2 sensor with a universal Bosch one this weekend. Hoefully, that will fix my Check Engine light problem!
