Engine starts, then dies within 15-30 seconds. Walk away for a few minutes, and try again, and the engine starts and runs fine for the rest of the day. I've replaced plugs, wires, rotor and cap. The ignition module tested fine at the auto parts store. Any ideas?

Where is the idle control valve? I can't find any reference to it in my repair manual.
