Gretz, it's easy to at least temp fix it with the WD-40 trick.At the very least, you can eliminate the idle stabilizer if it doesn't help. On the left side of the intake you have a large vacuum line going in just forward of the throttle linkage. Follow this back to the "Y" connection about 8" back. One leg of the Y will go to the brake booster, and the other will wrap around the fuel rail and disappear under the intake. The later is the one you need to disconnect. Hold the line up a straight as you can, so the WD-40 can slide down as best as possible. Give a few good shots of the WD-40, then if possible, blow some LOW pressure air into the line to force it all the way down to the idle stabilizer. Personally, I did this twice, with a couple of hours wait inbetween applications. Then I let the car sit like this overnight while the penetrating oil did it's trick to break up any crud that's causing the valve to stick.The next morning all was fine, and it's still idling great. Not sure how long it will last, but for a quick 10 minute temp fix, it's worked great. Good luck with yours.
