Idle control valve
Can anyone please tell me if this is a serviceable part and how is it removed as my Cosworth now idles at anything from a 1000rpm to 4000rpm. If I disconnect the idle control valve, it then seems to run fine.
Many thanks in advance.

Idle control valve
Have not jet washed or steam cleaned the engine. Have cleaned the connectors with wd40. It seems to work as and when it wants to. Can I remove the unit and soak it in oil? Thanks for any help offered.

Idle control valve
Hi thanks for the advice. I have undone the two screws both side and removed or ring, but I am unable to pull the idle control valve out! How much force can I use before I damage it?
Many thanks!
Many thanks!
