I have taken my Probe SE to Auto Zone to have my engine light checked and diagnosed... It turned out that I have a problem with an Idle Speed Control which shows on the diagnostic tool's screen.
I would like to know, if I may, what cost am I looking on if I decided to repair it and what is severity of this damage to the car... In other words, how long can I go without fixing it ?
Thank You for Your time and an effort...

Try cleaning out the idle air control valve and see what happens-Dunno know how long but when it quits for good it won't idle or idle so high, unpredictable
