It turned out that the firewall leak had caused the pins on the ECM to become corroded and one half the IAC wasn't connecting so it would go high and stay there.

Yeah, i got cut-off on my parts adventure already. I've replaced the iacv, but i was honestly just going through some of the low budg...
