So since my awd swap I have been having issues trying to adjust my ISC.

I tested the coils and all tested at 35 ohms. So I then pulled my ECU to check drivers and they all looked good. I did find capacitor 203 leaking so I'm sending ECU to ECMTuning. Since drivers looked good I decided to pull the ISC and get a visual.

When I pulled it out the tip of it stayed in the tb. It seems to be badly carboned up. I can put the tip back on. It appears to just twist in. I decided to hit the local junk yard for a possible used one. I found one in a Dodge Stealth that looks exact from the outside. Not all carboned up either. Only problem with this one is it has 2 dead coils.

So I brought it home and removed my coils and installed on the one from junkyard since the tip that goes into tb cavity on that one is in good shape. Only thing I had to do was clean the oil out from housing on the junkyard one. That's probably what took out the coils in first place. I retested my coils and now they are at 30 ohms.

I just wanted others opinions on using it like this and if they think there would be any issues?

I hooked up ISC and turned car on and off and the ISC is operating. I also retested coils and got 32 ohms on all four. ISC motor was a little warm since I have turbo timer the car was on for a few minutes. I am assuming that this is normal.
 
I'm assuming your only fiddling with it bc your car isn't idling right after the swap? It's far more likely that if it was working ok before that you have a vacuum leak somewhere, a loose coupler or a missed vacuum hose or injector o-rings etc.

It's idling as it always did it's just the ISC position is way outta whack staying high between 70 and 100 and I can't get it down to 30. When I ground the pins in DSMLink it goes to 9 and I get the idle close as I can it always fluctuates 100- 150rpms. But that's nothing new.
 
After installing revised ISC it's now operating as it should. It fluctuates some but I can get it to stay around 30 now so it must have come apart before I pulled it out somehow.
