Check if your idle switch is working at all.  It should click when you move
the throttle arm and switch off as you release it.  If it does not work, you
need to adjust that to make it work, so the computer knows that you are in
idle mode now.

Subject: Bypassed DIS

So I just discover that my van does not have the DIS (Digital Idle
Stabalizer)and has been bypassed by plugging the two plugs together.  I've
only recently starting working in the engine area, fuel line replacemet,
clean grounds, etc....  I've had the engine die when coming to a stop and
then not starting the past few weeks which is why I've been spending time in
the engine. (enjoying the learning process)  While reading posts and
researching topics found out there is no DIS and van has been on bypass
since I've owned her.  Almost 2 years....

My question is once I put in a new DIS and then calibrate the idle per
Bently is there anything else that I should be concerned with due to the
bypass?  I don't know how long it's been this way before I purchased the
van?  Anyone have any experience with this?  Thanks...

Bob
