My car listed above threw a code 14 yesterday. I've been looking online and it looks like the IAC is bad. Is that the only part i'll need to replace?

I don't intend to split hairs but your vehicle has what is called an EACV, electronic air control valve. Basically it does the same thing as an IAC but the functionality is a little different.

I attached the testing that you would need to do in order to confirm this is the issue. This is a circuit code so while it is probably the valve itself, there are other causes. Run through this test and let us know what you find. Thanks

Sir. Not only did you save me from from taking my car to the shop, but you also saved me from buying the wrong part. She runs awesome now. Thank you so much.
