disconnecting idle stabilizer on mariner 200efi

[20vector]

hello i have a 98 mariner 200efi and want to disconnect the idle stabilizer on it.its runs fine at idle.can i just disconnect it and not retime it.i read stuff about disconnecting it and to check timming.but was wondering if its idling fine now that timming should be good.thought if its idling fine the idle stabilizer wasn't doing anything?please help i plan on disconnecting it and don't want to mess anything up. O and another thing if i disconnect the dentonation module do i have to do anything if i do? thanks in advance. ted

Resetting timing upon removing the idle stabilizer is more about WOT timing than idle smoothness. Idle speed is adjusted with idle timing. WOT timing is a combination of trigger position and Bias to the switchbox from the idle stabilizer, which is way you want to remove the stabilizer, when they go bad and advance timing too much at WOT the rods can come right out of the engine.
