BenC Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 (edited) Just cleaned my Idle Control Valve - was a bit dirty inside, but all cleaned up now! (wonder if it is worth taking off the two rubber tubes, above and below the ICV, and cleaning them out aswell?) how much should the valve be moving about? the 'piston' thing inside the main chamber seemed to move a few mm at most, but it was moving freely, - and the other piece seemed to rotate freely enough. from other descriptions it sounds like it should be moving loads - so how much is correct? thanks Edited November 17, 2009 by BenC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longman Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 (edited) have you an issue with idle? , took my valve apart cos revs stuck at 2k for an age before dropping to idle , cleaned rust off armature which was fouling on outer bit and cured it , has quite a pulse when it operates IIRC , didnt bother with anything else as my issue was fixed..p.s I'm not "in the know" Edited November 17, 2009 by longman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
