Alrighty, my car was running fine, idling fine etc etc.. But ever since i've been playing about with my turbo (that i've now removed) i've had a high idle, around 1400rpms

I've taken the turbo off and put it back to like it was N/A and it's still idling high. I've cleaned out the idle control valve twice so i don't think it's that unless it buggered, although it was working fine beforehand.

The only things i've been playing around with are vacuum hoses but i think they're all ok and the guage is reading 30 on idle, and 0 on full throttle. The breather pipe coming from the crank case up to the inlet manifold (i think) does have a hose in the rubber, could that be it? it was filled with mank oil and i scraped it out incase it was blocking it...

 

idle valve - if it isnt in the original place, make sure its positioned so its horizontal or it'll idle high or low depending on which way its tilted

 

it's almost in it's original place and it's horizontal, but before i had it sitting vertically!

good man, i'll go and try that in a minute, if it works, i take it i need a new one.. always sommit

because i did have to move the positioning/orientation of the valve when i tried the turbo.. that could be the prob mate, thanks! i would never have thought of that.
