[DML] Re: Where is the "idle speed relay?" (#108 on wiring diagram)

["Dave Swingle" <swingle@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

"Idle speed relay" is a mis-nomer - its the Idle Speed Controller 
that is located behind the driver seat under the wood cover. Black 
box with two plugs. Unplug it and see if the fuse still blows. Car 
will run (sort of ) without it.

We've been talking about it on the list for a few weeks, but this 
woiuld be the first one Ive seen that causes fuses to blow. Normally 
they just die and the car idles wrong.
