Been getting a code for Idle Air control circuit low- P0508 on my vehicle. IAC was changed and rewired along with the PCM being changed, throttle body was cleaned and changed TPS. Code was cleared ran great for 5 days then code reappeared along with a whistling noise and it doesn’t want to start sometimes so I have to disconnect battery and it will start after. Running out of options because after all that it still isn’t fixed. Need help as I can’t afford to take it to a mechanic. Please help!

Here is the testing for this code. I understand it appears you covered everything but clearly we are missing something.

Let's run through this test and see what turns up. Depending on the wiring that you did I suspect there is a connection issue.

Check for a vacuum leak as well, a whistling noise would be what a leak would indicate. A quick spray of starting fluid or carburetor cleaner would help track it down.

Did all checks on IAC and also checked for vacuum leaks. There is no issue with either. I checked fuel pressure and it’s high around 62 PSI looking like I need a new fuel pressure regulator. Could this have caused the IAC code?

Assuming you have a JTEC controller then you are correct that it is a bit high.

However, that is highly unlikely that it caused the IAC code. Do you have a scan tool to see what the MAP is reading?
