Morning guys,
Just before i start the car has been converted to EFi and ive been told its the idle control valve.
Had a bit of trouble over the weekend with the car idling when warm. Sat in traffic Friday night and the car was hunting and sounded as if it was gonna stall. A mate of mine told me to pull off the ICV and clean it out with WD40. I havent done this as yet as i thought it mite be something different. can anyone explain how i can clean the ICV out and if i do will it need any different setting up afterwards i.e adjusting the throttle cable?
cheers for any help guys
