what is the idle up solenoid? Did you get a separate code for that?

More then likely it's the coolant temp sensor, and failing temp sensor can cause a lot of weird issues with idling, fueling, and overall engine performance.

the web site i look at had both of them under one code..

ok so where is the temp sensor on the radiator? are they cheap?

Wait a sec.....24 is not coolant temp sensor, it's the IAC valve.

I suggest you check out my site, it has the correct information on it.

IAC - idle air control valve.....and yes....it's sole purpose is to regulate the engine's idle.

Back of the manifold to the side of the throttle body. Kind of looks like a little box.
