Ever kill an idle valve?
I seem to have killed off mine... Hooked a second valve up to my harness just now and fooled around with my idle settling and watched it work perfectly. Plugged the one currently hooked up back in, and no reaction to idle speed whatsoever.
Anyone else ever kill one? Never heard of them going bad.

I cant seem to run without it, when it's cold it wont idle without intervention on my part for a few minutes. Once it comes to temp I have to idle around 1200 so that when I trigger the A/C it idles around 950.
I can't wait to get it running, with MS-III I'm running the A/C switch into the MS, and then it increases my idle DC%, and then 650ms later it triggers the A/C compressor. I want to finally get the idle tuned so I can impress all my friends.
Then I can consider the MSX board and run full sequential fuel/spark.

Update:
Swapped in my spare air idle control valve, all is well on the Western Front. Closed Loop PID Idle Control with MS-III is awesome. A/C idle up function is awesome. Braineack is awesome.
