so i cleaned my idle control valve b/c my car was doing this erradic idle thing when cold (1600-2200) and sometimes it idles high when warm too, sometimes not.
problem not solved. the piston seems to move easily enough in the icv. and the mechinism seems simple enough, it the piston moving freely enough to eliminate it as a possibility? |

Idling at 900 is normal when warm.
