i too feel your pain. i have a 1990 kick as well. mine has never idled under 1500rpm ever. bounces between 1500-2000rpm most of the time, gas mileage around town isnt great, better on the highway though. sputters when cold as well, strong fuel smell in the mornings.
but with 370,000km on the ol girl, who can blame her for whinning...
ive been looking for a ISC for it as i know mine is bad from working with the information on kick fix.
the site is down but i i got a copy of it on the computer.
