disintended nondeceleration....

[Arryn Milne]

There are three major parts to idle control right (not including sensors), 
right?.
Throttle switch, ISV, and fuel cutoff decel valve (FCDV).  How new are 
these three?  A vacuum leak should manifest as a low idle problem right, 
and more engine braking (as this is what happens with the FCDV).

How's the throttle switch?

Later,
Arryn
