what does the idle computer have control over? is it just the icv, or does it have more control then that?

An idle "computer" doesn't exist. The ICV is wired to the ECU.

yes, but i figured it out... 560 ohms on the crank sensor that was supposed to be 1280 + or - 10%.  i'm just going to go pick one up, i'll let you know if it fixes my problem.
