I wondered if you were thinking of the 2.1 ..
since Ignitor and anything that would be an idle stabiizer in that system
is entiely within the ecu.

and...
still.....what does the Idle Stabizer do on a 1.9 ?
I could imagine that it would 'steady out'  idle rpm ..
but it doesn't know a target idle rpm.
