Throttle body Connectors the same?

Well, I put the 1g ISC in my 2g and when I turned the car on, the RPM went up and down as if someone took off my recirculation hose off my blow off valve. I put my old one back in and it went back to normal but still had the pesky CEL.

Just to make sure, the ISC is the 6 pin connector located underneath the TB right? It is bolted in by two 8 mm bolts also with a Phillips screw on top as well?

Yes, you have the right location/connection. It's possible that you got a bad ISC motor. If you have a multimeter you can test the ISC by doing a resistance test as described here:

At least you didn't pay for it :p

Did you remember to put the o-ring between the ISC and TB?

I think the O-ring stayed put in the TB. But, I'll check the continuity on the 1g ISC. Has to stay in the ranges of 28 ohms. :thumb:

Another question; are ISC's supposed to heat up? I took that mother out at least 5 times and it was like playing hot potato but with myself :tease:. Was it being heated up from shorting or caused by engine bay heat? I didn't smell any fish from my ECU in the cabin of my car. And it drove fine.

My guess is that the ISC should not heat up to the level that you are describing. However, I'm not positive about this. I can only say that I have never experienced that. But I usually only work on the engine when it hasn't been run yet that day. As you stated, it could just be from the engine bay heat. But then again increased electrical resistance will always cause the component to heat up.

Do you have your heat shields on?

Let me know how the resistance test comes out.
