Initially it would start with about 10 seconds of cranking with everything plugged in, then I did some work and replaced some tubing and such, and then it would not start unless I unplugged the idle control valve. It runs so nicely with that and the intake air temp sensor disconnected that I may just leave it that way, and have the dealer diagnose it sometime in the future when I have more $$ to throw at it.
He offered to email them since they are large documents.

If you are happy the way it runs, you're done. If you want it to run how it was designed then you have more work. I didn't like that the prior mechanic unplugged my ICV and added a helper spring...
