I'll seal the ISV with some tape when I have the chance to and report back. I did get a video of the smoke billowing out of the ISV and coming out of the throttle body shaft, but wasn't able to upload do to file size. But, judging by the amount of smoke during the smoke test and the strong hiss from the ISV when running, it's my strong suspicion!
If you email the video to me at [email protected], I can take a look if you want. Or put it on youtube and post the link here.

Not the best video quality and I did not have the proper lighting to capture the volume of smoke, but, it's the video I took. Also just confirmed idle is sitting at 1050.

@TurboD Did you ever figure out your idle issue? Was it the ICV?
