My car idles well at 900 rpm.

 

A little higher than stock but thats how I had it set and I like it :)

 

Now I have changed my heater matrix the idle jumps to 1100rpm when the climate control is on.

 

Not had it on for about a year as had no heater matrix or air con.

 

Now the only reason I can think of for the idle increase is to power the air con pump.

 

Well I no longer have an air con pump so I want my idle to stay at 900 with the heater on as that doesnt use loads of power like the air con.

 

Do I just pull off the yellow plug or will that cause bigger problems?

No you need to take the grey plug of the FICD valve

Nope :)

sweet! i'll do it in the morning

 

where abouts is it?

 

I know the idle one with the yellow plug is rear of engine passenger side

On the body of the idle valve - the unit screws into the side of it pointing towards the centre of the car :)

right next to the yellow one then? I think I have read about it somewhere.

 

Andy you are a star by the way :)

Yup thats the one :)

 

LOL no worries :)

Quick solution is to press the 'econ' button when you have the aircon on - this disengages the compressor clutch and turns the valve off.....
