mgaking Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Idle control valve. Looking at the front of the engine, it is on the right hand side. cylinder shaped with electrical connector in it's LHS. Clean internally or replace. Never needed to do it myself so cannot advise further but is the usual start point for this problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revill 1982 Posted October 2, 2013 Author Share Posted October 2, 2013 Yeah I cleaned that out and it seemed in good condition The only other thing is it is a lot worse when the weather is warm If its cold out then it doesnt play up as much till the engines warm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 I would replace it, sounds like its got a faulty / brittle wire that is causing the issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
