The voltage changes depenging on engine temperature and the idle rmp seems constant... if I, however, remove the power from the engine (at cold temperature) it lowers the rpm and at warm engine temperature the rpm increases.... So it SEEMS to work fine, but you never know, right?? ;-) ... But you guys think that cleaning the idle contorl valve will fix this? That might be a good idea... I will try it. What kind of lubricant do you need to put in there after cleaning???
