[DML] Re: strange idle

[DMCVegas@xxxx]

Well I'll be. When I first went looking for a replacement Idle Speed 
Motor, I had recieved in an e-mail from someone stating the 760 
wouldn't match. It was a simular style, but wouldn't be compatable. 
So that's what I was basing my statement on. Plus Volvo's aren't the 
most popular car here, so the newest I could find @ the junkyard was 
an '80 of any model. So I had no way to verify everything myself. But 
on the old 260's I saw, they had a completely different style 
regulator on them. These were 2-wire regulators, with a spring 
inside. And they and a 2 wire plug at that, so I don't know how you 
could connect them to get them to work.

But in either case, I would only reccoment using the ISM off a junk 
car to test only. When I opened up my old motor, I noticed inside the 
brushes on the motor were covered in black soot since they were not 
sealed from the air chamber below. Seeing as how inscets and other 
little creatures like to nest in small places, and how the engines in 
junkyards are left exposed, I'd reccomend buying a new unit to make 
sure it's clean inside.
