What does idle control malfunction mean? Say it out loud....lol
Seriously, what is your motor doing? How's it acting?
Is the idle surging? What was the last thing that you did that may have affected the idle? Was the most recent thing that you did was boost hard, enough to loosen a coupler or connection on the intercooler piping?
