Under the distributor cap? How about the idle position sensor? Can you hear it click on and off? > > The idle control module could be fried or the idle valve could be gummed > up.
I believe I can hear the position sensor coming on with ignition turn on and off. Where is the idle control module and stabilizer valve? Thanks again! -chris
