Idle valve supplied with power from the OVP. You should have power at one of the wires at the idle valve from that. Ground is supplied either from the engine control module (I believe this is correct) or an idle control unit. Check for power first and let us know. If there is no power and the fuse in the OVP is OK, then probably needs a new OVP. Or some guys I guess like to repair the OVP.

You check it with a volt meter, black to ground or the negative battery post, pull the connector off the valve and ONE of those wires should have voltage.
Not sure on the ecoomy gauge. Peter, a vac leak "usually" leads to high idle not low. Gilly

If it's big enough (torn boot between air meter horn and throttle body or really bad idle control valve hoses), the computer cannot compensate with enrichment and it will lope and stagger from lean mixture.

check the big main vacuum hose to the brake booster and see if cracked.
