Gang,


What type of signal does the idle control relay send to the idle stabilizer valve?  Is it a current signal?  Is it a voltage signal?  Has anyone ever put a clamp-on amprobe on this cable and read the current?


Reason why I ask:  I suspect my idle control relay to be bad.  The Bentley manual gives instructions for trouble-shooting every input to and output from the relay.  If they all check OK, Bentley says to replace the relay.  Sounds like Bentley has a stake in selling idle control relays.


If you have a digifant Vanagon and understand my rant and have an amprobe, will you take a few readings and post?  Thanks in advance.
