Maybe it was a repair, but it has come undone a couple times. When I have an issue, its the first thing I check.
Man... If I even began to describe the processes I've done chasing my idle... I changed every vacuum line and boot, most relays, cleaned every contact, etc... I had cleaned that thing so many times praying it would solve my plight... I bought a new one and should get here soon enough to compliment my control relay...

When I bought the car, it ran perfectly. It sat while I was learning to drive (I bought it when I was 16 from my uncle), and I assume sitting did a world of hurt to it. Thankfully, it made me change out all the rubber and aged bits before they really gave me issues.

Only vac line I have yet to reconnect (was disconnected when I started the whole ordeal) is the one coming from the top of the EGR. NO idea where that thing plugs into.
