Here is part #2 of my idle surge story, #1 was cleaning the ISC, which helped but didnt fix it completely, then it gradually got worse and worse, until it was revving up to 2500 RPM when I was stopped at a light. It also kept changing, sometimes 700, sometimes 1500, sometimes 2500, I was going nuts, So luckily I had a FIAV sitting around, and some new caps for my ECU, swapped the FIAV, put in new caps, idles like new and purrs like a kitten.. before I was getting black smoke, rough idle, misfiring.. etc. The old caps were not leaking or anything, but I think its a good idea to replace caps at least once a year

I guess it all depends on our interpretations of 'clicking' and 'actuating'. Sounds like (from what Chris said) it should be actually 'moving' as opposed to vibrating? I mean, it's one thing to actually have power suppied to the motor, but for it to work . . .
Am I right? Chris? It's coming back to me now... What I remember reading was that you can pull the ISC, plug it back in to the wiring harness, and turn the key to ON (not START!). At that point, the plunger should move in and out. IIRC that is one of the test to see if the ICS is functioning.
