Your motor will idle badly. The revs will not stay at a constant level, even when your engine has reached operating temperature. ***Sum's Answer***- the engine will idle bad, and it wont catch its idle when droping RPM's. It may drop to 500rpm, shoot back up to 1k then slowly figure its way out to 6000-800rpm. Overall, it will idle badly, and not know where its going. It may not be your IAC motor though, I had that problem in my 03' Cavalier and it wasnt the IAC, it needed a computer update.

Where is the iac valve on a gmc jimmy?

The location of the IAC valve depends on the kind of fuel injection system you have. On the Vortec V6 (93+) it's right on top of the air intake in front of the throttle valve. If you follow the air intake tube to the motor, the IAC valve will be in the intake manifold right where the air tube meets the manifold. The wiring for the IAC valve comes around behind the throttle cable bracket and plugs into the IAC valve.
