Could be me, but I thought CIS was for
Constant Injection System
as the system injects fuel, no matter whether the intake
valves are open or not... It's been explained to me that
that's the reason for the oddly shaped "crab"-like intake
manifold; the longer tubes are supposed to "store" the
injected fuel in the time the valves are closed...

But no argument on the idle-explanation ;-)
