it's clearly written in the FSM not to mess with that factory tampered resistor...
I'd check for vac leaks, TPS, injectors to begin

i'm saying it might have been messed with before, and i don't see what's so hard about resetting the resistor to the correct setting. Did it on my car and the 60 seconds it took was definitely worth getting a perfect idle.

Humm, I hope I'm not missing the "edit post" button but I"m not seeing it anywhere. How long does it take an experienced person to check for a vacuum leak? And aren't there some vacuum hoses that you'd need to take the IC off to get to and if you do that, i don't know how you can have your car running...?
