Thank you very much for all of your help and guidance. I'd be lost without this site.
I removed the IAC Valve. Image attached. Dropping the throttle linkage was simply two bolts and necessary. The distance from tip of pintle to mounting flange is 35mm. Your instructions note for a new IAC it should be set to 28mm. The cone is pretty rusted. I've seen warnings about using cleaning with solvents. Question: What do I clean with? Gasoline? Note that is rust on the pintle cap; also, the pintle doesn't move in or rotate; although I only very softly tried to push it in or rotate it.
I'm leaning toward ordering a new one.
One final note: I never described what I had done before the issue started. I replaced all the plugs and the entire distributer assembly (old one was rusted inside); I timed the engine as instructed in the automotive manual.
