Subject:Idle stabilizer control unit...? Do they go bad?

Hey All...
If you remember a while back.. i was having a problem with a rich
running... bad idle at startup problem. I never really figured out the
problem... went through all the usual trouble spots.. and well.. not
fix.
Upon reading the wiring diagram today for the fuel injection system...
I noticed that the Idle stabilizer unit is tied in with 4 major items..
that directly affect the problems i am having. They are the Coolant
Temp Sensor,Hall Sender,Power Steering Pump Switch and the Oxygen
Sensor. Well ok 5... and the idle stabilizer valve.
My question is this... Do the Idle Stabilizer Control Units ever go
bad? I pulled mine and cleaned the terminals... and no change.
Anyone had this go bad? And if so... what were the symptoms?
thanks everyone,
jesse
