Raising the idle on a ph1?

[ben_r1]

As simple as turning the stop screw on the throttle body or does it need ecu mapping?

it idles just over 600rpm currently and it's lumpy as a tractor with a misfire and occassionally has a little struggle pulling away slowly, think it need 100rpm more or so. Thanks

Yeah turning the screw will lift the idle but from what you've said it sounds like you have engine issues

Is this the same on a ph2?

Is this the same on a ph2?

No. PH2 are electronic.

No. PH2 are electronic.

Ok cheers

change the ICV, they're crap. The screw on the TB is set for the TPS and glued/painted in position, don't touch it

Danny I assume that stands for Idle Control Valve? Where is it located on the ph1? Anyone have a part number and price? Thanks

 

[Dan519]

Yes, idle control valve. Back of the plenum between the coil and the throttle body. About £80 iirc, ordered one the other week but can't find the bloody thing on parts system now

 

[ben_r1]

£80 wowzers! What was ever wrong with a manual choke lol?

Cheers I'll get that ordered next week.

 

[Rob]

I'm sure it was a lot less than that when Adam172 ordered one? Not that I'm questioning for you all knowing Danny, but I'm sure it was closer to half that.

 

[Dan519]

Found it, it's actually £93.20 inc vat. Probably get a cheap copy, but not sure I'd trust it to work.

 

[dmallett]

I had one off eBay for £40 and it was crap, they sent me another to replace it for free which also didn't work! Genuine ones all the way!

 

[Rob]

For that money I'd rather pick up another TB and give that a go!

 

[Dan519]

For that money I'd rather pick up another TB and give that a go!

how would that help? You'd still have a faulty idle control valve.

 

[Rob]

Is the ICV not on the TB???

Am I going actual mental?

 

[dmallett]

Its on the back of it, you can remove it with 2 bolts.

Actual mental

Its completely separate, bolted to the plenum

 

[DannyR]

I've got a few kicking around for £35 delivered Ben

[DannyR]

It had a new TB from Renault about 3000 miles ago to resolve the sticky throttle, that set me back £250!!! Defo not at fault
