omen2853 is an unknown quantity at this point
for your over heating, did you make you you bled the system properly? follow the upper radiator hose to the point it connects to your water pump housing. theres a little bolt (10mm) on top of where the hose meets this housing. unbolt it, take off your radiator cap, top off the radiator, then put fluid inside the hole that the bolt went into (yes INSIDE the hole). evermtually youll see coolant coming out of the hole letting you know theres no air left. close it all up, turn on your car for a few minutes to get all the fluid settled, then check and see if the radiator is still full and the little hole still is topped off. basically, all that is justgetting the air out of your system which causes overheating.

as for the idle, it doesnt take long to remove your AIV and plug it all up. the IACV seems like a bitch to get to seeing as it appears to be under the manifold. i have to check my IACV too...but because i have a VERY high idle (1500 rpm).
