If the KOEO codes were "M" (Memory) codes and if you disconnected the battery, the codes have been reset.

KOER:
  12--Self test could not reach fast idle RPM spec.
  16--RPM above the self test spec with the ISC motor fully retracted.

Were you able to do the ISC adjustment procedure with the new ISC?
Have you ever been able to see the plunger move?

I replaced the EEC and the ISC is now functioning I believe the throttle position sensor is also now in the game, what a difference.
The ISC does in fact retract in self test mode when things work together.

I really do like having these forums as the people are so knowledgeable and willing to help.
Today I reset the timing as so many players were on the disable list with the OLD EEC the timing was off about 20 degrees (guessing).
I ran self test mode again and  the KOEO was still code 11 PASS.
KOER codes 44 and 94 both making me aware the air pump and it's components are disabled (I removed the pump)
I want to thank jcasidy and Softtouch and everyone else for the help on the Walking bird 87 Thunderbird 3.8.
I will soon be working on the Dirty Bird (65 Falcon 170 3 on the tree)
That's all FOLKS!!
