Hello there,
Today is your lucky day... the AIC being stuck is a HUGE problem...
I know that it is supposed to move "freely", and by hand.
The two or three wires that are connected to it only "sense" what is going on inside of it.. there is no electric motor or no electronic control over how that valve moves inside of the AIC unit...
not ONLY is the valve on the insdie supposed to move by HAND, it is supposed to move BY AIR PRESSURE... or vacuum pressure, either one...
SO...
i said it's your lucky day because now you know this is causing a poor idle...
feel free to get second, third and evern fourth opinions, but i gurantee that if you replace the AIC you have with a NON-MOVING valve, with a new unit that has a freely moving valve... your problem with idle will be less intense...
i say less intense because you might have more than one thing wrong with your car that's causing the condition... but the AUTOMATIC IDLE CONTROL (AIC) valve not working correctly has a lot, if not everything, to do with the car's poor idle...
SO REJOICE! You've found the problem on your own! CONGRATS!

oh and by the way... i paid under $50 for a working replacement AIC for my car on EBAY!!! good luck
