I have a 95 taurus with a 3.0 that will not start. It didn't run for a good month and finally got it started after putting it in the garage. It ran fine for 3 days and won't start again. It has a new battery, good fuel pressure and good spark. I checked the signal to the injectors with a noid light and they seem to be getting a signal. I looked at a tsb for the year and engine and it said possibly the iac valve, but i checked the resistance and it checked out fine. I ran into a funny thing when i got it started. The only way to get it going was to pump the accelerator as fast as i could. Now i know that this only opens the throttle but its what worked. Need help
Thanks!

Remove IAC valve and clean or replace
checking for resistance not going to show you that its dirty and or stuck
