Engine cutting out at low revs. Help.

[PinkoCommie]

Not actually my car, but my mates Ph1 172.

His engine keeps cutting out at low revs, when pulling up to junctions and low speed cornering.

Any ideas what to look at?

 

[edde]

idle control valve and check the throttle body for dirt

 

[PinkoCommie]

Are throttle bodies the same across all the models?

Coz I have a relativly new one sat on my kaput 172 ph2 in the drive. Or are the 172 ph1's not fly by wire? (I'm sure i read that somewhere)

The ph1 will have a cable throttle, as edde said chances are its the ICV.

Had this before and was the ICV i clean mine out with loads of card cleaner and was fine.
