Default idle control valve????

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

Use Carb Cleaner, not WD40 to clean it. The CC will just burn up in the engine a lot easier than oil will.
