>story.) My mechanic suspects that there is a problem with the ECU or the >PROM of the ECU. Can the ECU be serviced or must it be replaced? $$$$$ >OOOOuch!!! SLBSTM! Much more likely just a bad idle control valve or idle control valve relay/module. Try removing the idle control valve and plugging the two hoses that attach to it. If the idle is now stable when held steady with the throttle = good bet that valve's bad..... Could try cleaing it with carb-cleaner, sometimes this wil get 'em to work again (for awhile). Harder to test the idle control valve relay/module. If this ides turn out to be bad I do have a brand new one (NIB) that I bought to replace one mis-diagnosed by the experts! :( "Extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice and moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue."
