I don't have a Bentley handy, but if I recall, at the yellow connector
mid firewall, one can measure current draw of the idle control valve
system.

Maybe the valve is seeing constant full power ?

Far be it from me to chime in on Dennis' comments, but along with what
he said, maybe the control unit is allowing constant full power to
flow to the valve?   (it's faulty?)
