oneillchris Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Hhello all I've an issue with my car it has a low idle problem when the car is warm, the whole car vibrates but doesn't cut out. I've replaced spark plugs, fuel filter, air filter, fuel regulator, cleaned throttle body, checked pcv tubing with car starting and is perfect, any ideas??? am I missing anything??? any advice appreciated as I'm a bit lost at the minute, oil and oil filter has also recently being changed, put the cat on diagnostics and no error codes came up but load was 40 or 48 can't remember which, Any help advice greatly appreciated thanks for reading Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artscot79 Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Idle control valve would be the obvious choice these cars idle at between 670-730rpm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneillchris Posted March 27, 2015 Author Share Posted March 27, 2015 Thanks for your reply removed it and cleaned it with carb cleaner and also cleaned Maf sensor, do u think the the idle control valve could just need replacing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oneillchris Posted March 28, 2015 Author Share Posted March 28, 2015 Was it a computer job to reset it or how did u do it? Did it cost much, thanks for your reply Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artscot79 Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 If the idle control valve doesn't sort it you'll need the ecu update from ford at £90 you're better replacing the idle control valve first cleaning it doesn't really work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
