mb3000 - I received your ISCs today. Thanks for sending them out so quick!
Unfortunately, neither of them worked. I checked the resistance on the coils and all of them were within spec. I find it hard to believe that all three of my ISCs have bad plungers. When I last looked at O'Reilly's website they did not have one but I must not have looked hard enough because my recent searched showed they have one for $85. I might give that a go.
However, in piddling with the ISC I found another problem. Apparently a green wire is supposed to connect to the throttle body somehow. That wire was apparently cut. I found out it belongs to the IPS switch but my throttle body doesn't have an IPS switch. I'm going to try to find a stock one or find a way to make my own if that's even possible.
11SecondFWD - how did you delete all your ISCs from your cars and still keep them running well? DSMLink? I wanted to get the car running well on the stock setup before I went that route.
Upon further reflection I have realized my car has a 2g throttle body on it. However, I have an extra 1g throttle body handy. What is the point of a 2g TB in place of a 1g? I thought the 1g was better.
maybe it was cheap & available. :)Quote:

I need to take that thing off and inspect. There could be a lot more to this idle problem than meets the eye.
You do not need anything when you delete it. DMS link ect is not needed. The only thing id when it is cold you have to hold your foot on the gas til it warms up a little. Like a min max in freezing temps. Because you delete the fiav and isc. I use a 1g TB, with fiav/isc delete plate, and replace the shaft seals. It works great. The little wire should go to the top of the tb on the idle switch.
When you delete it all it runs great other than the starting thing. It doesnt idle surge or do any funky things they like to do.
I wonder if there's a way to make your own idle switch. I've searched but can't find anything.
I'm still at a loss about the 2G TB! I'm going to swap the 1G in when I get the chance.
With dsmlink you can simulate an idle switch. Ya I dont see a reason not to use a 1g TB.
I was reading about this when I was considering removing the aicv on my sr20. One guy with a fwd sr20 took apart the stock iacv and hooked up a servo inside that he controlled with a switch in the cabin for cold starts.

I was considering this with my idle switch. Since it is grounded when the throttle is closed, I could rig a simple switch to ground the wire when I want.Quote:

Guess the best thing to do is to ground it to the chassis when I get home and plug the ISC in again and see if it reacts differently. So far, all three of them have just twitched back and forth as if the arm was stuck.
