Quick question if u ever did or witness a smoke test did smoke come out the iac and is that normal or a bad sign i took the metal cap off the back where the filter go and tried to put a glove over the closure but air seem to come out the housing where the cylinder meets the part that bolts to the intake

... No part of the intake/vacuum assembly should be leaking. If smoke is coming out somewhere you have a leak and it needs to be fixed.

So smoke should not be coming out the back of the iac

Starting to wonder if you're trolling me at this point ...
Smoke should not come out ANYWHERE during a proper smoke test.
If smoke comes out of something that thing needs fixing/replacing.

Pull the iac, clean it, reinstall with a new gasket or make your own with some Felpro. Or, just replace and throw in a new gasket (or make one) so you don't have to worry about it.

Oh ok i get what your saying now i was just makin sure u meant no smoke shouldnt be coming out the iac at all sorry for asking the same question

No worries. Just fix/replace and redo the smoke test until no more smoke comes out of anywhere.

Glad to hear it's running right finally. A sudden cutout could be an electrical fault for sure or an issue with your broken ignition.

You could try taking for a spin and keeping pressure on the key. Try inward, upward, and downward pressure. Also, pulling on the key lightly. See if the fault changes. Doesn't matter if the fault disappears fully but if the issue changes then you know you're issue is indeed related to the broken ignition. - If the ignition is broken in a way that allows you to turn the surround without the key in then try the same but on the surround.

No problem. We don't know that it is the issue and this test wont make us certain if it's a negative but it's worth trying. We got her running right so now we know it's worth it to keep her that way.
