Bad IAC or MAP or both.

IAC = Idle Air Control Valve
MAP Manifold Absolute/Atmospheric Pressure


IF the IAC is bad it will cause it to idle high, and also cause the map sensor to lean out the fuel system. The Map sensor plays with timing and can cause the manifold to glow red.

I have one of these engines sitting around.

Lemme know what you want off of it and I'll send them to you for the cost of shipping only. I'm on the island. You may have to wait a bit because I'm in and out of town.

Throttle body and map sensor maybe?

Lemme know.
