Hey all Idle Control Valve playing up :( Just when cold (1st start up of the day usually) just goes up and down (500-1100) for around 10secs then is fine and no probs afterwards for all of driving!

 

Had the same Prob on a previous car and Shot Carb Cleaner down the Throttle Body which sorted it! I know it depends on the Control Valve but would this work or would it just do nothing??

 

Many thanks

Hi, if you disconnect the hose connecting to the idle control valve, just to the left of the battery, and squirt carb cleaner down there is should clean it up good. you could also remove the 2 inlet hoses to the throttle bodies and clean them upp too. that should do the job. Jay
