        Well, actually...no. Not without a scanner...
        I had a major idleling problem with my car, and I knew quite a few other guys that had the same problem, all narrowed down to the IAC Sensor. I'm not sure about the 3.4's, because my friends have the 3.8 engines, but erratic ideling was quickly narrowed down to the IAC ;)
        Go to autozone. My IAC Sensor cost me $26 as opposed to $125 at the dealer [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]
