pringle18 Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Hi Folks, New to the site and like what i see. I have a question, hoping some1 may be able to answer. I have had problems with the car stalling when its hot and coming to a stop at junctions etc. I have replaced the idle control valve for a second hand one and this now is over revving the car and this making it un-driveable!! Has anyone had this problem before? Was it definately the idle control valve or was it something else? Any help at all would be great!!

martync Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 I had over reving problem turned out to be a split breather pipe at the back of the engine I replaced it now its fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Check all pipes and also check the condition of your replacement icv. Sometimes secondhand does not save money, i'd recommend buying new for parts like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy 1965 Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Check the throttle position sensor. Unplug it and see how she idles. If okay, replace it. Easy job, I have done it on my car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
