SHANES9818 Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 Hi there I own a black V Reg Ford Focus. Due to this website I have manage to find out what was wrong with my car. Symothoms: Stalling, Hesitation, Reving out of control, idle getting stuck. Apparently this is very common problem with the Ford Focus. How ever I now know I need to change the idle control valve which I jus brought on eBay. I was wondering if any body new of any tips for changing this part of where I could download some sort of an engine diagram fro free from. I have located it in the engine but if I had a diagram to look at I could familiar raise my self before attempting this. Also is this an easy part to change? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive also had to change the ICV on my 1.6 as it wasn't operating correctly, causing the revs to hang for a second and also occasionally stall. the same symptoms as most are having.

smokiedee Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 how easy was it to change, i need to do mine but heard it's a bit of a pain to get to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_ace Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 I found this to be a git to get to. If i ever do it again i'll take the inlet manifold off, it is possible from under the car but it is VERY tight in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
