Where is the ICV located

[nth]

It could well be an ICV problem but with you saying it takes its time to start once it has cut out, leads me to the TDC but give the ICV a clean anyway.

Low Idle Speed, High Idle Speed or Stalling at Junctions

The culprit will probably be the Idle Control Valve (ICV) which is located on the top of the inlet manifold. The ICV acts as a gate allowing varying amounts of air into the engine. However they are known to stick. Then they either let too much air into the engine, possibly causing high revs, or not enough starving it of air and causing the engine to almost or actually cut out.

Solution

Remove the wiring connector and three bolts that hold the ICV in place. Liberally spray it with carb cleaner using a small brush to remove any deposits. A new O-ring will be required for reinstallation.

Pretty much my problem in a nutshell, even though reno were telling me its the tdc sensor+loom that need replacing

Could be the TDC sensor, although ICV more likely. What car mush?

If its a 1.2 16v then you haven't got one. Idle control is all done with the fbw throtttle

Ok I have this problem, can someone tell exactly where to find this valve? A pic would be really helpful.

Thanks

This is where mine is, but keep in mind that this is an aftermarket one fitted by GDI to work with my Omex600. I imagine the standard one for you lot must be close by?

Hope this helps you lot out.

Can't think if it looks like that but at least I know where its located.

I guess if I order one I will be able to recignise the part!

Thanks
