Yes, the ISM does indeed need to be installed in a specific 
direction. There should be an arrow on the side dictating the air 
flow direction. Since there is a designation, there's got to be a 
reason for it. Most likly, it's probably to prevent the valve from 
working too hard against the force of the air flow passing thru it.

The ISM buzzing isn't always a sure sign that it is working properly. 
I had it go out on me suddenly in traffic one night, and had to keep 
the motor revving to keep it from dying. After a new motor, and a bit 
of electrical troubleshooting, I discovered that I had a damaged 
wire. Although before you even get that far into troubleshooting, 
you'll first need to isolate the Idle Speed Circuit as the culprit. 
And to do that, you'll need to bypass the unit manually.
