David B probably has most, if not all, of these data being one of our prominent data freaks.

GoWesty emailed back and declined to share their information, citing "that
data is proprietary".� It really isn't, just as knowing the expected output
voltage range of a healthy voltage regulator isn't proprietary.� Oh, well,
it was worth a try...it just means a little more work on our part.

So, here's what we need to know:
* The PWM duty cycle being feed to the idle air valve when:
� �  --the engine is cold, the starter is engaged, and the coil is shorted
� �  --the engine is cold & running
� �  --the engine is fully warm & running
� �  --the engine is fully warm & running with PS operating
� �  --the engine is fully warm & running with AC on
� �  --the engine is fully warm & running with PS operating and AC on
*� The current draw from the idle air valve at a known duty cycle.(or feed
it straight 12v and measure the current draw.)
* The base voltage and the peak voltage coming from the Hall sensor
The above items will need to be done by someone with a scope and a healthy
ICU & idle air valve(and PS & AC).

*� Which connector, 4/ST2 or 11/ST1, supplies the PWM power to the idle air
valve. (and confirm that whichever supplies the PWM power, that the other
is a ground connection.)
*� What is the voltage at the coolant temperature sensor when cold and when
160 F.

I think that this would provide all the information needed to design the
circuitry and program the microcontroller to drive the idle air valve.

And once a prototype is built, we will need a vict-- I mean volunteer-- to
connect it to their rig for testing & fine tuning.� Preferably in the
Portland, OR area.
