Fixed!

I got a new IAC (good price on the internet). Cleaned the throttle body, and new vacuum lines. My wife has driven it now for 2 days for all her short trips and had no problems. It runs great. Burning a little oil but that was like that before.

Thanks for the help and hope that others that have this problem can use this info. One thing we (son and I) read was that the IAC should be cleaned on a regular basis (40k miles I believe) - I would doubt it this one ever was. I think this was was having problems opening and closing properly. It was very clean so that wasn't the issue. I tried to take it apart to inspect it but it wouldn't let me.

My daughter drives a 92 so when she get home later this month I'll be cleaning it's IAC.

There is no set maint. Interval on the IAC, I have a 1991 Corolla with original IAC.
