I didn't think it was the IAC valve.  It never is. Glad you have it fixed. The shop should refund yer money for the IAC. Because that wasn't it.

I apologize to all previous posters as yes when I re-read this there were multiple mentioning about the fuel pump.  Adam was just the most recent.  I really appreciate all of your help and your wisdom. IAC is a much easier part to think about ($) versus a new fuel pump ($$$).

Got her back from the shop all fixed up with new fuel pump / filter.  She seems to be running great!  Thankfully had a 5% off coupon as out the door $800 with oil change.  Drove by a woman today on the way into work in a Gray C4 with a vanity license plate "her half" ...good stuff.

That was a lot to deal with.  Glad you got the fuel pump issue sorted, but sorry it was so costly a repair.  Considering the location of the pump, it seems as if some of these places sure charge a lot Ouch  Well, at least you're back on the road.
