My car has got an idle issue.
It is hunting on idle (revs go up then drop then go up etc) also effects driving with it being a little irratic off power

I'm going to clean the ICV (Stepper)

Also going to clean the Sensors but which ones and where are they? The PIC in the FAQ does not appear to be there.

How do you clean the sensors, I take it you have to un bolt them and them spary with carb cleaner?

Thanks guys.

Odds on it's your ICV - just unplug it, then remove the two (Torx) screws holding it in. The part you can't see normally (as it's inside the manifold) will be gunked up with black stuff - clean all this off.

When you refit it, don't be too alarmed if the idle is all wrong - if theplunger has moved during the cleaning, it will need a bit of time to "reset". You can force the issue by disconnecting the battery -ve terminal for a couple of minutes - when I put my ICV back in, it wanted to idle at over 2,000 rpm until I pulled the -ve lead. After this, it was back to normal at 800 revs.

Hope this sorts it for you!

Resetting the ECU after changing sensors isn't a bad idea at all.
