Thom 1 Posted September 6, 2007 Evening All, Just changed what I thought was a faulty ISV for a replacement, but I still have idle/power loss problems. I know that this area of the engine is to blame because if I unplug the ISV, everything is solid as a rock in idle. Any ideas? or could it be an amazing coincidence that I've fitted another dodgy part!? Cheers T Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
andy 0 Posted September 6, 2007 Was the replacement brand new or second hand? Quite possibly another dodgy one if second hand. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flusted 0 Posted September 7, 2007 leave it un plugged? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thom 1 Posted September 7, 2007 was a used one, but sold as tested....maybe not. If you leave it unplugged you can't push revs above 2000ish Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mattkh 0 Posted September 7, 2007 Hi Did you clean the ISV in carb cleaner? Also, does it buzz when the ignition is turned on. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CazzaVR 0 Posted September 7, 2007 Get a screw driver into one of the holes and see if the inner part opens easily. The flap is spring loaded and you should be able to gently push it open with the screw driver. It flicks back into place when you let it go. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thom 1 Posted September 9, 2007 I sprayed carb cleaner through it a few times and it seems to have done the trick (touches all manner of wooden objects). Hopefully saved me £100ish, Cheers guys Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
