Thanks Sam,
I think I have gotten screwed on Ebay, since my Idle Stabilizer doesn't  seem
to be
"buzzing" at all when I turn the key on.  I think it could also be the  Temp
2, and in
fact, with my bastardized harness (as you say ;-) it could be a host of
issues!  I didn't
think it could be that since I have driven it for about 6 months without
this issue.  [But
yes, since parts for this thing are hard to come by down here we have
"jerry-rigged" a
harness from a 1984 Vanagon and so far haven't had too many problems--had  to
move
the ECU to a different position since their wasn't enough length on the
harness, and
when I replaced my o2 sensor I found that their is a different connection,
but other than
that all seems to work well.]
I guess I will just write down some names from the Vanagon Rescue Squad and
hope
I won't have to call them somewhere between here and Minnesota!   Thanks
again to all
that offered their advice on this matter.
