OK, did some hunting on the net and found a picture of what the IAC looked
like. The IAC on a 4.0 '96 is on the drivers side of the intake, no need to
remove any covers to get at it. I replaced it and now it is running fine.
Thanks so much for the advice. This is a great group!!!
The part was $43 at Advance Auto Parts.
