Ok I got everything back together today and started the car up.... I let it warm up and it went into a semi-rough idle, it wasnt idling as low as before but still a little rough it was at like 600 rpms maybe so I raised the idle via the screw on the TB. That helped and smoothed out the idle I think I raised it to about 900 rpms, took it out went around the block a few times, got on it a little bit. I noticed though every time I pushed in the clutch and the car returned to idle speed that the rpms dropped real low then went back up, like I would push the clutch and the rpms dropped to 400-500rpms then back up to 900-1000. When I got home I messed with things while it was in my garage that way if it died i would have to push it anywhere. The engine was ideling at 800 rpms and I turned my headlights on, rpms dropped to 500 and a rough idle turned them off, back up to 800. Turned the fan blower on high and the rpms dropped, turn it off and rpms back to normal.

Questions: Is the IACV what raises the idle speed when accessories such as headlight and heat? If so do you think mine could be bad. It would make sense why it kept dying on me when I left after work, I had my headlights on, btu when I went to work and left work it wasnt dark yet. Last night I applied 12v of power to it and touched the ground to the other terminal and I could hear it click. If its something else that raises the idle let me know.
