I've got idle issues it would seem. In the '93 245 with automatic trans., the motor shuts off at times when I release the throttle to come to a stop or, if I'm just driving around residential areas slowly and come to a stop, the motor stops. It starts just fine, but I wonder if this is just a low idle issue (reads about 5-600 rpm on the dash tach at idle), or perhaps the idle control valve needs cleaning. Anyone have experience with idle control valves...what are the typical symptoms related to those devices. I know I can adjust the idle up a bit and hopefully this will stop this annoying tendency to stall the motor nearly every time I pull up to a signal or stop sign.

Thanks as always,

JBeechcraft
