Before I installed the new valve I tested it per Andy L's instructions. Key in ON postion, valve drives fully then slowly goes the other way. Yup good to go. Note- The valve vibrates like a beard trimmer. I asked around and apparently this is normal operation.
I installed the new idle control valve.
I thought I would need a longer piece of rubber hose to connect the valve to the cold start valve tube but I forgot that the tube can swing forward and back so I worked with what was there. I had a heck of a time getting the valve holder ring at the correct angle for the screw hole to line up with the threads on the base plate. I am not sure why this didn't line up right.


I turned the key and the engine fired right up and idled with a bit of up and down pattern. The real test would be what happens after the engine warms up. After ten minutes the car was still idling around 800 to 1100 RPM. No crazy high idle and no glowing exhaust headers. YAY!!!
I never heard the fans come on and the Fan Fail light was on, engine temp on the dash was pretty low and the pipe that the otter stat is in wasn't hot so not surprised the fans were not on. Maybe not fully warmed up yet or air in the system?

I decided to quit while I was ahead and shut it down after revving it up a couple times.
