In theory, frequency valves don't fluctuate until water temp is up. In
practice, they seem to monkey with the lower chambers anyway. Numerous
times I've unplugged the frequency valve on a cold engine and had that
characteristic idle hunt smooth out. Don't know what fails between
theory and practice, but something obviously does.

Regarding CIS -- you're at the mercy of the idle speed motor & control
module. Mine stuck closed at a stoplight once. Had to ride the
accelerator pedal to crack the throttle plates until I could get home
and throw the stupid thing away. 'Twas then that I figured out what
the balance screws were for and how to set them.

Why the comment about carburetion? (It's true, but curious since so
very few of us run it).
