There is a thread (Re: ISC troubleshooting) in the archives addressing an
idle circuit problem that gives similar uncontrolled 3000 rpm symptoms to
those you are observing.  I found heat inside the idle control unit behind
the right tail light contributed to the problem.  My experiences and
attempts at fixing this can be found in Item #394156 (21 Feb 2010 18:13) -
Re: ISC troubleshooting.  Sometimes electric motors begin to draw more
current as they age.  Maybe the idle control valve is doing the same thing
and causing the control circuit to overheat.
