$25 repair. plus some carb cleaner and a toothbrush to clean the throttle plates
So you think I should take it somewhere else? I still have to pay him for the diagnostic, which is $100. Are you suggesting that I do the repair myself? I guess I might be able to do it myself. I'll have to look on youtube to see how involved it is. I guess it depends on how hard the throttle body is to take off.

You don't have to take it off. Just take the hose off that runs from the air filter housing to the throttle body . Then just clean it without removing it.

The thing is that the elbow behind the throttle body is collapsed and I can't get my hands in there too well because it's right up against the firewall. That elbow needs replaced.

I'm not familiar with how the engine is laid out on your truck so I can't help you there. It may very well take some acrobatic moves to get to that hose.
I could be wrong but just cleaning the t-body may help relieve any extra vacumn being drawn through that hose and collapsing it.

I may try that first. The thing was that I was trying to replace the PCV valve and that's how I got to where I am. The PCV is on the back side of the throttle body where that elbow is attached.

Isn't it nice how they put the things together.
I'd do what you suggested earlier if you're not used to working on one, look for a youtube video. More than likely if you are just a little handy with a wrench you should be able to do it yourself without any problems. You may end up still needing an IAC motor but for the effort and time I would try these simple repairs first. You'll save yourself a trip to the shop and a couple hundred bucks if it works.
