I may still have issues, it should have idled with it disconnected, that's
what sent me off in the wrong direction.  I'll check the plugs and the AFM

in my experience ..if it does that..zoom to high rpm on it's own ..
its the Control Unit.

and it's good you learned about and went thourgh a bunch of related systes
in the process.

in my world ..it's not just getting it to work right again .
it's understanding the whole thing really well. ..or at least pretty well.

At least I've checked everything else out now!

Thanks for the help!
