ISV cleaning

[RC Ringlien <rringlie@isd.net>]

A few days back some listers talked about cleaning the Idle
Stabilization Valve (ISV), so I thought I would take a few moments to do
that on my '85  5T since it's idle is erratic a times.  Well folks, the
idle isn't erratic now, it's a constant 3000 RPM.  I used WD-40 and carb
cleaner and sprayed in both hose fittings 3 or 4 times, with black yuk
coming back out.  What cleaner should I have used?  This looked like it
was working well.  Disconnecting the electrical makes no difference!
   I took the same valve off my 89 200(same part #), installed it in the
85 and everything was fine, back to 800 RPM.  How did this cleaning mess
up the other valve and what's inside that little jewel?  HELP, HELP!
