alternators dont go bad and if the ac is cold humm what more do u want.

 

Well they work, but when they are on it is what is causing the idling/surging problem it seems.

 

just an after effect of your idle prob u have already because if it was the ac compressor or fans would it not idle good untill one or both was turned on???

 

Seems both and I was just tricked by being outside the vehicle. I think i'll change the plugs back to champions this weekend, get new spark plug wires, and put that IAC in when it gets here and go from there.

 

What is the official gap on the plugs need to be before I change them this time?

 

Ok cleared the code at autozone and it again popped up cylinder 2 misfire. So i got champion plugs and some wires to put in. It seems this is a common problem online for the v6 2.5L in 1996. Is there a known remedy to this or not?

Also searching I've found that a batch of computers were made with an error in them can cause this. She had her alternator go out a while ago and it killed the computer too and was replaced. I believe the problem has happend since it was replaced...

 

Alright got it! The IAC was dirty and spraying carb cleaner just into the throttle body didn't get it. Directly spraying on it fixed it and no misfire codes or anything now with the autolites.
