-Is the coolant level correct?

-When you replaced the IACV, did you make sure both coolant hoses were re-attached properly?

-What made you think it was the IACV? Check engine light for it?

-How did you trace a vacuum leak? By ear? or with a spray solvent and listened for idle change? Smoke tester?

I sprayed vacuum lines no leak, there was no CEL but I changed IACV because in my old car thats what cause this issue. Coolent lvl is right and coolent lines on iacv are hooked up
