Thanks Klaus,

I cleaned the throttle body and IAC. No leaks that I could see. The car started, ran a little rough then smoothed out. Drove around the block and then the idle surged to 3000 RPM and stayed there for about 30 seconds, dropped down to normal ~800 RPM. I shut it off and tried to re-start = no start.

I don't have a code reader but i will shortly. Would disconnecting the + battery cable clear the code and permit the car to run normally?

I appreciate your help...
