91 200 TQ Wagon stalling

[SuffolkD at aol.com]

Greg:  I whipped out my Bentley (BUY ONE) and the chart on D2-480-6 says:
"F-60" Idleswitch. Hmmmmmmmmmm  why is ISV: N 71?
Why is there no "F-60" on the Section 24 - 170 -1 page?  
There is an Idle switch but no mention of: "F-60" on Section 24 Page 120-1 
though.

Here's my guess:
Your ISV, with the valve at the end of the IM gets stuck, this twarts a 
smooth idle and if the car is running poorly: the engine may be fighting to idle.  
You may sense this as "running poorly".

For NO reason other than coincidence, mine failed when I started the car back 
up from a ECU swap. Start the car and it dies over and over.  Idle possible 
with my foot into the gas holding it steady to idle. ~1000 RPM.
This valve either causes (when stuck) the car to die, or bounce idle between 
800 - 1200 RPM.  Check there.  Take it off and spray carb cleaner into it to 
get out all the junk.
Its a solenoid you can test with a 9V battery.  Simple open and close AFAIK.
***** The CLASSIC symptom (OF THIS) is putting in the clutch, coming to a 
stop light and the car dies..................... **********************  Yet it 
restarts, either on its own, but more likely your foot holding the idle by the 
gas peddal.

The photo I attached is where the book mentions to look Idle Switch, not 
where I described above, which is the ISV.
