[1.8laser90]

well, i thought my isc was bad cause i tested it when i replaced my head becasue thats when it stopped workin, well it didn't work when i put a battery on it so i thought it was bad...so today i thought id mess with it and hooked a battery back on it and it worked but then stopped so then then i thought it was just a bad battery, so i hooked the car battery up to it and it worked fine back and forth but when i hook it back up and start it its not workin and idleing low until its warmed up... whats up ?? any ideas why it won't work hooked up ??? thanks alot, Cory

If I read the manual right, you shouldn't apply more than 6v to a 1.8L ISC motor when checking it or you can lock up the gears.

well i did know that but didn't care cause i thought it was fried anyways but its still works when hooked up to a battery.. but not when its hooked up to the car... oh and when i tested it and left it alll the way open and when i started it it retracted but wouldn't do anything else ....???? whats up ?

just wanted to let u guys know that i did get the isc workin... today i took the throttle body off to get this bracket on it straight, i bent it trying to get the isc out yesterday, anyways i put the throttle body back on and start the car and the isc is workin! kinda slow tho but i guess workin. i had a check engine light on and it said it was the vehical speed sensor and no one new what it was so never thought it would cause it but i guess it does screw up your idle. but for some reason it didn't come on when i started it after taking the throttle body off and the thing was on all the time for about 2 weeks or so... so i guess the isc was never bad it was this stupid sensor i almost bought a throttle body...good thing i didn't...
thanks alot Cory
