Subject:idle stabelizer control unit solution?
From:- Jeff & Kim Prudhoe
Date:Thu, 7 Sep 2000 00:03:09 EDT

My father took his '87 Westy into a local foreign repair shop to repair a
leaking wheel cylinder and trouble shoot and repair a rough idle only when
cold and for a very brief time.

After seven days in the shop and $759.00 later he recived his van.  Yes the
brakes were much improved but I found out that the mechanic replaced both the
idle stabelizer control unit and the water temp sensor in his effort to
remedey what I believe may have been a minor problem.  He charged for six
hours labor, seemed a bit high.  Could replacing these parts be the solution?
I have lost faith in this gentleman and wish to hear any thoughts from this
learned group.

Thanks

Jeff
