Idle Stablizer valve job

Im going to go ahead and change out my Idle stabilizer valve hoping to get a smoother idle. Question is what else should I do with the intake off ?

So far I have planned

Idle Stablizer Valve
2 hoses that attach to the valve
Intake gaskets

Keep in mind that the car is at 99k and I believe EVERYTHING is original

Air/oil separator seals? Not much else under there.

There are a few past posts on simple spray DIY cleaning the ICV (AKA idle stabilizer valve) if it is just sticking.
OR here is a link that really goes deep into the ICV. NA and turbo use the same - new $175 Pelican (rebuilts from $77)
Idle Valve

Make sure you replace the valve with the arrow/flow going in the same direction as you took the old one out. Take a picture. Label the vac hoses.

You will never have a better time to reset your reference sensors. If you are lucky, you may even be able to remove the sensors, clean them off and replace-regap. This does not require you to remove the sensor bracket.

If you are not able to lift the sensors out of the bracket-STOP-just regap.

AOS seals as mentioned

Get the ICV rubber mounts from Pelican-yours have dry rotted.

Vac lines as mentioned and the ICV hoses you mentioned.

Get new "good" clamps for the OEM pinch type that now are loose-replace all

Check underneath the intake air "J" manifold for rotting and cracking of the rubber.

If you see a white deposit on your heater control valve replace. It drips on the clutch and replace the short hose to engine on top. Again lots of room for big hands.

Get new injector kits to make the idle really smooth after you clean DIY--click on TECH SECTION above for details OR just send them to www.witchhunter.com

Clean the grounds on top of the bell housing. Check the negative cable end(s) for corrosion-bluish green/teal color
