Idle-up VSV?

Hi all,
My 4AG redtop is having some idling problems and I've been trying to locate the idle-up VSV and the closest thing that I could find is this. Can anyone tell me what is this part exactly as I can't seem to find any info in the web by it's part #. And can someone be kind enough to take post a pic of your idle-up VSV. Thanks heaps.

ok, I see that no one has picked this up. Reason for my asking is that my engine rpm drops once the electrical load increases. Even when the engine fans come on, the rpm will drop 100 somewhat, then comes back up when it turns off. Same thing happens when the brakes are depressed. For the aircon though, it will idle up when the blower is at the slowest speed, but the rpm drops progressively when the blower speed is increased. So it gets pretty bad (rpm drops to 500 and near to stalling) when I'm stuck in traffic on a hot day with the aircon on, a hot engine and with the constant stop and go. I'm thinking there could be something wrong with the idle-up vsv, or is this part just for the aircon? Anyone? Thanks.

Lachie,
Check your PM. Another question ... how easy is it to wire up this valve? Two wires only right? One to the ECU and the other?

Did you wire up the electrical load sensor (ELS) to the ECU? Sounds like it could be a problem with your alternator too - the regulator might not be picking up the voltage drop when the load on the system increases?

Hi all,
After combing thru the forum for pics, I found 1 from HighRolla that showed the part I might be missing. HighRolla, hope you don't mind me using your pic.

The valve with the green electrical connector at the lower right - is this the idle-up VSV? The hose runs from the n-port to the valve but where does the other hose go to? - the intake box? I have the same looking connector but it's not green in colour and not connected to anything. So one of these wires should be connected to the VISC pin at the ECU? Any inputs appreciated.
ChrisTH, thanks for the link. Nice to have the whole manual in pdf format instead of the individual image files.

MAn I think everyone on toymods must be looking at this site. I am using one of the fastest academic internet links in Australia and it is taking ages! (unless the server that the file is on is using dial up!)

Any one know if the part (the ISV) that is in the pic of HighRolla engine bay is a standard AE82 part? The same part on the AE92/3 (100Kw smallport) a solenoid that lives in a housing that is moulded part of the airbox, so you can't remove it when you remove the air box.
I've thought about cutting the moulded section of the airbox (since I now have a pod) out an AE92 airbox, but if this part is a direct replacement (excluding the plug), then I might just use that
