Re: Tuning idle speed circuit

["David Teitelbaum" <jtrealty@xxxx>]

The idle speed motor does fail but it is not common. The best thing
would be if you could "borrow" a motor from another car just to test
it. If that gets your car to run right then you could order another
knowing that this will fix the problem. Another thing you could try is
to lubricate the upper and lower pivot points inside in the hope it is
just sticking and not burnt out. Even it you can get it to work this
way it is not a long term repair.
