The 16V idle saga continues

Well, my 16V just like the rest of all the 16V out there shares the same gene of idle blues, stalls, searching idle, stuck at high idle.
Any way, I'm thinking about replacing the Idle control valve and see if it gets better, but before replacing the ICV, I took someone in the forum advice to disconnect the electrical to the ICV. Sure enough the idle is much better, nice and smooth, but guess what, it is so bad when engine is cold, when engine is cold it won't hold idle at all, it just dies. The lesson learned here is the electrical is there for a reason, you don't just cut it off and leave it hang like that and walk away with a smiley face, you will pay baby!
So, should I go for it and replace the ICV, it is a bit expensive but I will replace it if it help cure my stalling problem.
Alex
