Aight.....under the car, drivers side, you'll see a black tin shield next to the rear of drive shaft. Slide under and look above it, you'll see a light brown two wire connector. Unplug it, spray some WD40 inside the connector, and unplug/plug it back and forth like 10 times. This connection is very prone to corrosion.

Now find the IAC valve on the side if the intake manifold. Put your eyes over it and look straight down about 4 inches. You'll see another two wire connector. Do the same thing with this one.

Clear the code by pulling the back-up fuse for 15 seconds and put some miles on it.

Lemme know how it goes
Any pictures of this??

I didn't take any pics of this. I just printed that reply and kinda followed it like directions. If I recall correctly, it was pretty easy to find. However, they were kinda hard to pull apart.

BTW, it didn't work for me. The CEL came back on and then cleared itself a few days later before I could have it cleared. Is that common?

I just got this code, P1457. I'm going to try the fix tonight, did the CEL come back?

Thanks

You have to use a little bit of brute strength. Push the gray release and pull hard. Depending on how old the car is, and other conditions it may be fairly difficult. Hope this helps.
