my 16v reving up , Idle valve cleaning

[asbfooh at yahoo.com (A J)]

Its under the tech procedure on the .org site , I
cleaned my stabilizer valve with carb & intake cleaner
on the hose hook up side and then used electrical
cleaner on the electric side , it helps , so do other
things , a tune up , new  belts , clean non coroaded
wires and connections to the valve is a good thing , I
actually took one apart and cleaned the contacts
inside with steel wool and electrical cleaner , I
installed it and it seems ok but would idle at 2000
when the car was warm , I took it out a put another
one in that I just cleaned without taking it apart ,
maybe I'll rip apart another one later , Aaron in San
