5k brakes & ISV

[ben swann]

Maybe I'm a bit sleepy/cranky today, but I see this as disseminating
bad information.  If the idle drops when you unplug the ISV, then the
ISV is working properly, and it is the ISV control (many inter-related
components) that is not functioning properly - think about it.

I have posted on this subject far too much, and so will defer original
poster to the archives.  Search on "high idle", "ISV" and "resolved".

This one for FAQ, wish I had more time..for now..Cheers!

p.s. cleaning the ISV with solvent has usually made things worse IME.

That would be my verdict. Try unplugging the electrical connector to the
ISV. If that makes the idle drop to a level closer to normal, the ISV's
probably shot.

- At least that's the advice I was given from senior mechanic at my
localaudi/wv used parts store.
