    Broken wire on the MAP sensor or IAC could be shot or just needs a clean.

    MAP sensor is on top of your throttle body, about halfway back.
    IAC is small motor on top of throttle body directly behind AC assembly.
    Check all plugs and wires to the TB.
    Check wires and plug going into bottom of coil also.

    You could try to clean the IAC motor with a spray can of injector cleaner (with the plastic straw type nozzle )

    Take off the air cleaner cover and filter , and in the top of the throttle body a couple centimetres in there's a wee hole in the top.

    Spray the nozzle in there, careful not to splash the paint etc ! You'll see black carbon/ crud come down

    Then spray up the same hole with CRC/WD40 etc , mop up and reassemble the air filter

    I put up a post years ago about doing this to a 2006 Dyna , but I did ultimately have to change the IAC motor.
