Also I tested the ICV and with it disconnected it started without accelerator being used and the rpm cold was 1100, tried the same test hot and it started right up with no Accelerator assist but rpm was 1500. I have a new OPR coming, but I think I need a new ICV too. The ICU thing is just thrown into the mix.
May seem like the bllind leading the blind
as I still can't find my ICV
but I have heard you can try to clean they out.
Worth a shot


I got a new OVR coming so I might putoff tapping it til the new one gets here but guess it would be good to know if old one is still good.

Relay slowly went on my volvo
a year or 2 of worsening gremlins
finally she stalled on the street
then wouldn't even start at all for days

took it in they changed some $50 relay, charged me $225 & its fine

Had I had known...Hmmmm
