My car is 1996 Mercury Sable. 189000 miles. I recently replaced the Idle Control Valve. But I am still having idle control issues. RPM jumps up and down intermittently. Any suggestion?

Will a possible vaccum leak show up in the computer?

Nothing showed in the computer prior to replacing the idle control valve.

Thanks.
