Volks,

i am having a wierd problem with my 2.1L 88...........

When it starts up cold, it does not want to hold idle, so i keep foot on the gas for a minute or two, then it will hold idle in park.  When I go to reverse or drive it almost stalls or does stall.

When warmed up, idle at red lights, etc is jerky and between 650 and 850 rpms.....................if i put in park when warmed up, idle kicks up to about 2200rpm..................

Are these symptoms of the idle stabilizer valve malfunctioning?
