Ok, so I just got the van started(barely). Held it at 2000rpm's for about 15
minutes to charge the battery after a 3-4 minute start process. After
letting go of the gas pedal, it dropped to 1100rpm's(900 is normal idle for
me), slowly dropped to 1000, slowly dropped to 950, and started to stutter.
Tap the gas, everything is fine, let go, starts to stutter/sputter. I'm
thinking all signs are pointing to the idle valve? Sound like a good culprit
to chase down? Is it located in the throttle body? On top?

Thanks so much!
