Germain,
I have the same problem. I just disconected the idle solenoid valve.
No affect on gas mileage. Since I have no AC, and don't push the limits
on steering (4WD would hate that) and anyway I have a right foot, I have
never needed idle stabilizer function. The control unit is a very
expensive luxury.

I have noticed that after turning the ignition key without starting the motor, the idle valve is humming for maybe 15 seconds and after it stops. If I turn off the key and try it again, the idle valve do not hum. Hum! Hum! (unless i try to start it the day after).

While the motor was warming up, it started to surge going from 2400 RPM to 1400 RPM. I stopped it and restart it. Everything seem to be OK. I did a small ride with it and once again, it started to surge again. The motor was idling around 1500RPM and while I was braking, the RPM was going up and down. WOw when it is acting like this, you have to push hard on the brake while waiting on a traffic light.
