I could see the 2 part control causing issues, with the coolant driven and electronic driven. Idle surge is usually from the computer overcompensating for some other issue. While you can fix the surge by bypassing, you may have other issues that need addressed.
Not trying to contradict NCGalant by any means, he's way more of an expert than I am, and I don't know the inner workings on DSMs, so don't know if it'd have any major effect. Obviously if you have no means of tracking down what causes the surge, then that would be a good workaround. But I could see the issue lying more in the coolant driven side failing, or some other problem causing the computer to adjust erratically. Another thought would be, is there a electronic controlled FIAV you could swap on, that doesn't have the coolant controlled valve? -------------------- 1978 Mustang II King Cobra
