Ken,
Check Bentley 24.51. It shows disconnecting the ISCV connecter, the yellow
plug on the left toward the front of the engine compartment, and the O2
sensor. I have checked my O2 sensor output with a multimeter. When the
vehicle is running open loop, I run rich, in the .8 volt range. Once the
engine goes closed loop I am running at .5 volts, exactly where I should be.
Idle speed is right about 850 RPM. If I reconnect the ISCV plug, the engine
continues to idle just fine until I drive around for a while and then come
to a stop again. Then the surging and fast idle problems reappear.
