Stu Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 It's attached to the inlet manifold, inbetween the engine and the manifold.. pain in the arse to get to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gers1873 Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 after futher idling problems it appears i have not cleaned the part i thought was the icv the part i cleaned out was the small valve on top of the injector rail the schematic drg. on this section is a bit unclear as to where exactly it is, i just can't seem to see the fooking thing at all can someone please advise exactly how to get to it please? i.e. from underneath the car or whatever, have had a good feel around under throttle body and can't even feel anything, can't really get my hand under though! photo of it would be even better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 That depends on how double-jointed you are From underneath is easier.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
