The ICV is on its way out I think. The idle is somewhat hunting and roaming. So while I am looking at the valve I notice this black crankcase vent tube is leaking oil (oil breather). This means air leak. So is this part available? This plastic tube goes to the intake as well as some other places.

The idle control valve should vibrate when it is working. Sometimes spraying carb cleaner through it can get it working again at least for a while.
The OEM breather hose was junk. Silicone heater hose has work well for me. |

Not the hose itself. This is the black plastic deal bolted to the motor. I got the ICV temp. working for now but I know I need one.
