edde I'm after the guide too.

Could you (or anyone who has it) email me the guide (jrawlins28@gmail.com)
Thanks!
I'd get a second hand amp off eBay. I got a 2 channel Phoenix gold one for bargain money. Is brilliant.
Jbl also do some excellent amps.
You wanna match the rms value of whatever components you buy with the amp output.
Can't see any botched wires.
I took apart the potentiometer, and seems to have cleared some faults. Still getting idle control valve fault though.
potentiometer makes a weird noise like a hard drive spinning lol.
Thing is its intermittent. Most of the time since putting it back together its...
On the idle control valve (I think that's what this bit is called!?) from a D7F 1.2 8v engine, that is on the end of the throttle body housing.
As you can see from the photo, the adjustment screw looks like its got glue in it, I guess to stop people turning it.
If you look inside you can see...
When the car is idling in neutral, the revs bounce from 1000rpm to 2/2500rpm repeatedly. So it's going "vroom, back down, vroom, back down, vroom, back down" by itself.
Touching the accelerator does nothing. Doesn't increase revs or appear to work at all.
I've swapped the pedal assemply...
An update.
Got a video of that its doing. Swapped the pedal assembly over, and didn't make any difference:
Removed the throttle body housing, but it doesn't seem to be like any I can find for the d7f engine on Ebay?
They're all metal but this is plastic?
As said. Don't completely remove torx bolt or when it does come free you'll rip the squip out too.
Just put it back in loosely, then pull as hard as you can. Use your foot as a brace next to the dashboard on the sill.
