Hello Friends,
I've been sharing my high idle problem for a couple months and have finally resolved it.
Turned out it was the I.C.V. (Idle Control Valve)as most had told me. I tried 4 ICV's including a new one out of the box, and the high idle persisted. I found the adjustment screw on the side needed a single full turn to the right to close the airflow a bit.
I had to chip the resin out to get to the small screw, but that was it. The cold start performance and idling is fine, as well as W.O.T. performance. I'm stoked this is done.
I guess the calibration at the factory for these units don't take into account the age or mileage on the car (?).
Many thanks to those who contributed and pointed me in the right direction. I'm looking forward to moving on to other issues and getting this 945T tip-top.
John
