Today I filled the car with petrol, as well as cleaning the IAC thoroughly, and yet the problem (of when I hit the gas there is little response in terms of power) persists. The car was fine this morning when I started it (cold) and drove the mile to the gas station. It was only when I turned the car back on (to leave the gas station) did the lack of power problem raise its ugly head once again. I should also state the rpms are right where they should be, with little, or no, surging. Thank you one and all for the help :)
