check engine light is on from the test pipe. I cleared the code and this problem started a few weeks later with no cel on. eventually the light came back on like it always does because of the test pipe.

Did you do the IAC resistance (ohm) test with a voltmeter?
There is a post somewhere on evom that shows which pins to check on the IAC. Or look in a service manual to find it.

It looks like you are having the same idle issues i had with my IX. mine was because i had a bad MAF. If you have a scanner that has live data on it plug it in and check the IAT (intake air temperature) and use a laser temp reader to check the temperature from the intake itself. they should be within 10 degrees of each other, considering that most scanners have a slow refresh rate. That's what I did and fixed my problem, my scanner was showing 99 degrees when i measured the temp at the intake it was reading around 65 degrees, so the ecu keep trying to compensate..
