    idle control valve.

    starts just fine but doesnt idle, can rev it up and revs up good and sounds solid...yup had to replace that a couple years ago. dont remember the cost, but fairly non-expensive.

    found it. the vacuum line that runs from the EGR valve to the back of the throttle body dry rotted right next to the throttle. pulled it out, afro engineered a new fitting with the old piece, a rubber hose, a piece off a john deere sprayer, some epoxy and some black tape and shes running like a top again :peace:

    i got real good at pulling coils now. i pulled that one out 4 times :jester:
