iacv is the valve directly behind the throttle body, it has a brown, purple and pink connector, along with a intake hose running from it to the intake box.

I'm having this same problem. I wanna get it fixed before I go to the local northwest nissan's show next month, so I guess I'll be trying these things.
Can anyone tell me specifically why the temp sensor would cause this?
