Default IAC on 2002 Rodeo $#%^#@ !!!

I'll start with cliffs...

Testing the IAC for movement and it came apart. Can't find the pintle.

Does a new one need adjustment or will it plug and play?

My parent's just got ripped off for about $1600.00 from a mechanic that ultimately said "I did all I can, I can't fix it".

So I started poking around at the things they didn't check. I pulled the IAC and turned the key to check for movement. On the last try, it spin the spring loaded pintle out and it flew somewhere. I ordered a new IAC and can't tell whether it self adjusts or if I need to do something with it. I can't compare the pintle extended and retracted distance, because the pintle is gone.

I "think" it will adjust itself, via the computer but I have no idea.

This Rodeo is low mileage, driven by a family friend's mother. Well maintained, but in the last three weeks it has been shitting all over itself. They took it to Christian brothers who had it for two weeks and threw parts at it and ultimately gave up.

Here are the symptoms
1. Erratic idle rises and falls between 900 and 1100 RPMs
2. P0351 code (bad coil)
3. THREE coils were tried out and the same code still appears
4. Horrible shudder and tire barking slam in to gear at take off. (may be unrelated)
