Subject:ICV or ISCU?

<html><div style='background-color:'><DIV class=RTE>Hello listees,</DIV>
<DIV class=RTE>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV class=RTE>I'm trying to determine which is creating my high idle while in Park and Neutral: the ISV or the ISCU.&nbsp; I measured with my digital multimeter, but unfortunately I've lost my instructions for it, so I'm not sure what it is I'm reading.&nbsp; The Bentley says to check for continuity, but I'm not sure what that means either.&nbsp; Basically the van idles fine with the ISV disconnected, and it doesn't hum or vibrate when connected, so I'm fairly sure that its the culprit.&nbsp; However, I bought a "tested and in good working condition" used one from e-bay, and it hasn't solved my problem so I think it is bad, too, but the seller asked me to measure the voltage at the connector to determine that - and&nbsp;I'm not sure I trust him as much as I trust my old friends on the list.&nbsp; So can anyone on the list tell me what my readings mean? </DIV>
