Hey!

When the engine is cold, it dies repeatedly after being started. It's annoying, but I can control it by holding the throttle open a little until it gets warm enough to control itself.

Now, as far as I can tell, the idle stabilization valve will open a little more when cold, and gets the cue from the coolant temp sensor. When warm, it will go back to normal.

Now, here's the deal...

I unplugged the signal wire to the isv, and it didn't change anything.
So i checked the voltage over the two signal wires, it read just under 1 volt when warm and idling normally.

When I get a hand, i will check the voltage to see if it changes when i try another cold start...

Therefore, can i assume there is a problem with the isv, or the ecu...given the loom is ok as there is voltage and complete circuit there...
