Hey Tiger...thanks for getting back to me. I figured it may be one of the
original guys that would. Anyways, I purchased the REBUILT unit through
"shocks and springs" on ebay for about $100. I did disconnect my negative
terminal before connecting the new one - but not for any real lenth of
time. I don't know if the "computer" needs to reset itself or what...as
far as the idle control valve, I am pretty sure I know what you are talking
about...it has a vacuum hose on it and two electrical connections on the
face?? How do I tell if mine is shot? Because here's another kick in my
junk...the car has been running at proper idle since lunchtime today! I
have no idea...

You can tell if that valve is good or bad by unplugging it while your engine
is running... if engine speed go higher, then it seems to be okay. If not,
then it is not working. Rarely, you need to replace this.
As for your rebuilt unit... It is questionable whether it is actually
rebuilt or not... Contact the seller and ask for another unit... exchange
the one he sent you.
