I have a copy of the manual also but that's not much help either unless I'm looking in completely the wrong spot.

Thanks!
The first thing I would do is check the hoses going to and from the Idle Control Valve. There are probably 3 hoses in the top circuit and 1 on the bottom going to the intake boot. If these are old, brittle, cracked, etc., then they need to be replaced.
Check and report back. Also, PM sent.
