Thanks for the wealth of advice KittysGreyVolvo.

The accordion hose was in good shape, unfortunately. The throttle body idle switch seems to be adjusted correctly.

I cleaned the throttle body carefully and made sure that all hose ends associated with it were cleaned and sealed with Permatex as a temporary measure. But I need to replace the hoses. They are hard and ill fitting. Where do you guys prefer to buy replacements?

To my surprise, I discovered the kick down cable is broken off. No action there until I replace this cable. Too bad it could not cause my problem.

The silver hose from the airbox is not connected to the manifold on this car. Some PO had the open end flappin' down in the breeze down by the exhaust header on the passenger side.

My AMM still might be bad though. And they are relatively cheap...Likewise the Idle Air Control Valve. This item ranges from about $35 to $250. Strange.

Maybe I should replace them.
