DebbieM Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 I have 2004 Ford Ka, 1.3 engine is revving by itself when idle. engine management is on. engine sounds like its struggling to breath (intermittent) once I drive the car, it can drive steadily without my foot on the accelerator!!.diagnostics suggested 02 sensor. been advised to put fuel treatment in it the car is getting a little unnerving to drive at times Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omendata Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Could be the ICV. Idle Control Valve stuck! Could be throttle cable or throttle position sensor or a serious air leak - that would be a nice easy fix with some WD40 but usually its the ICV - Easily removed and cleaned. Sometimes a good removal and clean can fix it if you are lucky - other times a replacement is needed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delboy Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 here is what your looking for 2 bolts to remove and a simple clip wire. give a good clean with wd40 and refit. if it's not that part repost on here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
