Just picked up my truck, mechanic wasn't there so I didn't get to ask any questions, he did leave the work order on the seat, says they replaced IAC??? :dunno: and the crank sensor as well as the airbox which I turned from a 1 piece airbox into a 2 piece when she backfired, he said he had never seen anything like that before :chuckle:.
$330 out the door, after tossing and turning all night, I'm not complaining about 330. :tup:
IAC=Idle Air Control motor.

Looks like my mechanic get another crack at it on Monday, drove to work yesterday (40 miles round trip) and it seemed to run fine except for 1 little hesitation which seemed like maybe bad gas, then today on some errands it died and before I restarted it I noticed the tach jumping all over the place, luckily she started right back up and got me home.  :dunno:

sounds to me like you might have a mechanic that throws parts at it till its fixed?  Maybe try someone else?  Dealer or elect. specialist.
MAGA!  Again..

Mechanic replaced another sensor, didn't charge me, thinks its fixed :dunno:, I haven't picked it up yet. He said absolutely nothing showed up when he hooked his machine upto it to read codes :bash:. I do have another shop lined up if/when problem returns.
Sucks this has to happen right before archery season, even if it is fixed I'm going to worry when I leave pavement.

Sounds to me like the guy you have it with is trying to make it right with you.  :twocents: It is not at all uncommon that repairing one issue can expose another/more.
