God knows. I'm just living with it 'cos nothing that I did seemed to make
any difference and there's no way that I'm buying a new ISV, that would cost
more than the car is worth. Its the same ISV as my 88 Ur-q (which works)
I've tried swapping them but no joy.

Jim

the ISV with the engine running and it now runs at 750rpm. So should I
disconnect the ISV, switch off the ignition then re connect ISV and switch
the ignition back on to get this bloody thing working right???
