Yes, I need a shop manual, but I do know that #9 is the IAC. It just
seems difficult to access without taking off the TB.

> Is the engine cold, warming up, or hot when it stalls?

The engine is hot.

> Does it stall when coming up to lights, or when already stopped?

It stalls occassionally in stop and go traffic (I think when already
stopped).

> How long will it idle until it stalls?

Most of the time it idles ok. The stall is intermittent.

> What speed is it idling at before it stalls?

Under 1000 rpm. It is hard to tell what the scale is, but usually it's
one mark under the 1000 mark. The idle tends to drift a bit above and
below this mark.

> How old are the plugs and plug wires?

I just replaced the plugs with NGK this month. I had a misfire last
month while idling and figured it was time to replace the plugs (they
were 4 years old with about 25k on them, but didn't look too bad when I
took them out). The wires are original. The car is a 99 with 47k
miles.
