Default WD40....

i think the probs im having with bad idle/cutting out when off throttle is defo the ISCV cos i cant find any more vaccum leaks...

aaaaaaaanyway, i was thinking that i cant be arsed to take it off to clean it cos its a bastard to get to, i was just gonna squirt some WD40 down the t/b bypass bit into it.

as the engine will just burn it off anyway....

well, i guess it would be better to have the engine running to do this???

have it running and use CARB CLEANER as it's flamable and WD40 is not so you will notice a change in idle speed coz its burning the CC

little hint stu told me n it works much better than WD40

thats for vac leaks...

as for cleaning it... you want to take it off for sure... n to be honest even if you do sort it itll probably go bad again shortly after new one for you im afraid my friend (if its that that is indeed broken)

just take the bloody thing off n let it soak n clean it...

it might be an arsehole of a job... but it needs doing sooner or later, why delay the inevitable?
