You asked: "Can I remove it from the engine, apply voltage to the teminals and see if it works? (by feel and sound) I's hard to tell when it's on the engine....." The Idle speed motor is easily checked while on the car. First unplug the idle speed motor than turn the ignition to the "run" position without starting the engine. Insert the idle speed motor plug; if the motor is operating you will hear it hum and or feel a slight vibration emanating from the motor.

Although that may not cause your problem you might want to correct it. On the note of the Idle Speed Motor, anyone know a good way to test it? Can I remove it from the engine, apply voltage to the teminals and see if it works? (by feel and sound) I's hard to tell when it's on the engine. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
