[DML] Re: Idle Speed Motor / Cooling

[doctorDHD@xxxxxxx]

I've heard this before, that the engine should die if you unplug the idle  
speed motor connector but I still don't understand why.  (Mine doesn't  die.)
 
As far as I knew the idle speed motor will stay in what ever position it  was 
when it is unplugged.  Is this not the case?
 
If I unplug mine when the engine is idling slow it stays slow.  If I  unplug 
it when the engine is idling fast, it stays fast.
 
I am not aware of any mechanism within the idle speed motor that closes  off 
its passage way when power is removed.
 
Who else can shed more light on this?

If the motor still runs when you unplug the idle motor you have  vacuum
leaks or your throttle linkage is not adjusted correctly or both.  The
motor should stall when you pull the plug on the idle motor.  Check
that the brass screws are closed. Check the throttle plate  adjustments
that the throttle plates are closed all the way.
