GivemeaVR 0 Posted May 6, 2007 My car is currently cutting out at junctions after putting the clutch in with 4kish revs. If you pull up slowly and let the revs drop off to 1.5kish then put the clutch in it doesnt cut out. Would this be the idle control valve not catching it and stopping the engine stalling from high revs? If so what is the remedy? Clean the valve? If so is it under the plastic ht lead cover? Any tips on cleaning it? I have had a search and couldnt find anything. Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
emirc 0 Posted May 7, 2007 Cleaning ISV: Take out HT lead cover, 2 bolts holding it, disconnect ISV (shiny Bosch thing looking almost like aux. water pump), unplug 2 hoses that goes into ISV, take ISV out, buy some type of electtronic contact cleaner, put ISV into small ziptie plastic bag, spray in the bag a serious amount of electronic contact cleaner, close plastic bag, shake plastic bag with reasonable force for 5 minutes, take out ISV, let it completely dry, reconnect everything.
