Okay folks... Here it goes. I need help, again.
My G started misfiring under WOT from idle, and then when cruises fine after that. The misfire and stumbling (for lack of a better term) is random as well.
I do know that I have a P0505 CEL, it's for Idle Air Control Malfunction or something like that.
I will be pulling the spark plugs tomorrow...
Thanks :)

When my v6 was acting up, I just changed the spark plug wires, spark plugs, distributor cap and rotor. Sound like you might have a wire that arc's off of your engine. That was my problem anyway.
I also noticed, when I did the distributor. I had some major buildup on the caps contact points where the rotor meets the cap. I would recommend changing all of this if you haven't yet. I think its recommended to do it with the timing belt intervals.
Oh the IAC and TB were cleaned already. I took good care of the IAC lol.Quote:

When you cleaned the iac you just wiped it off with a clean dry rag right and you didnt get it wet.Quote:

I hope so... It was awhile ago. Car ran fine for a few days. It was so dirty I had to turn the idle down with the screw.Quote:

wow that is low i would replace the iac that will cause the drop in the rpms and your CEL is on so that means your iac is faulty.
I would pick up a can of carb cleaner and use it on the IAC if you decide to mess with it again. It Literally desolves foreign material in it.Quote:

Cleared the codes, but the P0505 came back on. I still need to swap the old TB back....Quote:

Just go to a JY & see if you can find a V6 IAC
Yeah, i think that may be the next stepQuote:
