I'm not sure if I've ever heard a click, but thats just cause I don't pay that close attention.

Again clicking is normal. IF you think there is a problem, check for vacuum leaks. Next reset ECU by disconnecting battery. IM does not cause CEL.

you're idling to high from what i'm seeing. The idle being that high will trip that code. Turn the Idle Bleed Screw in, clockwise, until the idle is back to 600-700 rpms. Then the code should go off shortly after that.

If it doesn't go off let me know but that should take care of that.

Doesn't the IM have a gasket? Is it possible that he caused a leak in that when installing the IM? if so, easy fix, but this is a shot in the dark in case the other suggestions don't work.

I turned down the idle screw, hopefully this will solve the problem.

It doesn't matter if you turned the screw down. If you have a vaccum leak, the idle will still be high.

I'm not sure on a Lancer if you guy's have 2 hoses going in the AIC. He might have switched them.

I would run the car and spray carb cleaner around the manifold or hoses to find the leak.

The idle went down, it was originally around 1100-1200 now its like 700-600. I'm gonna wait and see if thats why the CEL came on or whether its something more indepth.

Something like "idle air control", basically something to do with idle air.
