This question is for a mate of mine. He has a p reg escort si 1.8 estate , everytime he stops at a junction his revs drop and his engine cuts out Any ideas of what this could be?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I dont know if it has an idle control valave or not?

Cheers

 

Could be the ISCV, its located on the inlet manifold underneath the throttle housing (I THINK), check for air leaks aswell, and loose/split/unconnected pipes

 

cheers for that will give it a try, thanks again

 

just had a look, looks a bit tight but i'll sort it, my girlfriends fiesta had the same fault, but that valve was on the front of the inlet manifold and was a lot easier to get at.

Had to get it off the ramp as the boss didnt look to happy! lol oh well f*ck em

 

Yeah they are in a right shit place to get to

 

Good fun changing these, you think thank fuck wen you get it off!!

Just wait to you go put the new 1 on

Remember to reset ecu after changing, i just disconnected my battery for a hour or so!!
