My sister has a P reg escort cab ghia 1.8. When it is being driven the revs stick at 2 thousand and start to hunt, but only when it is being driven not from standing when you rev it. Any ideas anyone please.

 

Sounds like the ISCV (Idle Speed Control Valve) apparently you can remove them and clean them. Never done it myself tho.

 

Hiya Can you tell me where this part is and what it looks like if poss.

 

Its just under the throttle body, 3 small bolts hold the cover on

Thanks for info i will give it a try.

 

Squirt it with air intake cleaner/carb cleaner then a bit of wd40 and carefully move the plunger back and forth then disconnect the battery for 30 mins and put the idle control vavle back on then reconnect the battery, start the car and allow it to idle for a few minutes

 

Thanks, see how I get on tomorrow

 

If you tap the Idle control valve should the revs rise at all.

 

Idle Speed Control Valve was the problem. Thanks for replies. Paul
