Idle Control Valve
« on: 24 February 2009, 10:32:46 »
Took the idle control valve off this morning and cleaned it out properly with carb cleaner and finished the job off with a bit of 3 in 1 oil, put it all back together and it now purrs away although i think a little fast on tickover, it currently ticks over at 900 in drive and 1500 in park ??? also i cant see any way of adjusting this so any help would be appreciated, also when i took the ICV off one end was taped up with black tape with just a small hole in the tape ?? This was the opposite end to the electrical connection by the way....

Its been bodged!

Remove the throttle butterflys and check they are clean and closing fully, there is an adjustment screw which acts as a throttle stop, the butterflys should shut fully but, not bind.

If this is ok then start looking for vac leaks.

checked for leaks but still runs at 1500 rpm in Park, would it be worth replacing the IDC (black tape over end is a worry)
