Ok, yeah, I think I misread my fault code. It's not the IAC, it's rich/lean fuel mixture compensation (which makes sense because of the air leak).

I removed both battery cables and got the 2-3-2 code to clear. I can't seem to get rid of the 2-2-4 (faulty coolant temp sensor). I have tried resetting codes at the diagnostic unit, and leaving the battery disconnected for some time. Is this a code that is logged as soon as the ignition switch is engaged? I want to clear it so I can see if it is an intermittent fault or not.

Also, even just idling in my driveway the temp gauge reads higher than before I replaced the temp gauge sender, about 50-75% between the "average" dot and red line. Could this just be the more accurate reading from a new sensor, or could the Coolant Temp Sensor fault be causing the engine to run hotter than normal? (It is about 85 degrees in Los Angeles today).

As far as the stripped stud, I would double nut it off, but it is stripped at the top so nuts just spin on top of the stud without going on....

Thanks

Ryan
