what effects does an unplugged ISC cause

[spatulahunter1]

i have a 95 tsi that just recently started having really bad idle surge problems, i looked at the VFAQ on it and was able to isolate the problem to a bad idle speed controller. The VFAQ said that i could unplug the ISC and see if it would solve the problem, it did. Is there any real negative effects of just leaving it unplugged until i can get a new sensor? If so please let me know, thanks.

When my ISC died and i did the same thing but the engine would always stall if it dropped below 1k and i learned that its very hard to drive stick when you always have to keep your foot on the gas that might of just been my car though, so good luck with that

i just replaced my ISC with a rebuilt one on ebay and its awesome. Got the piece in two days from them and it idles like a dream. So get a new one and call it done.

yeah i bought a used one too on ebay and it works better but sometimes it still acts retarded and dies.When we had this problem on a mirage we took off the gear inside the tb(where the ISC mechanism is controlled) and the car just took a little longer to warm up thats it.I had no loggin capabilities so i don't know of any side effects this may cause.AC worked fine too.when i took off my tb to change my isc I noticed this isvery similar but i didn't get to take off the cover on the bottom of the tb.It started rainin so i had to put everything back together fast.if my tb keeps acting up i will try to see if i can just cheap fix it like this.if anybody can tell me some possible negative side effects of doing this, please post it so.peace.
