Idle control valve

ah right...could this be the reason it sometimes idles dodgy?

Its not the idle valve, its the throttle position sensor. The idle valve is on the back of the plenum chamber.

On the TB danny. Pics in OP mate, your browser not showing them?

It's your throttle position sensor.

Half of my Ph1's have had the clip broken. It should still stay in though, can you cable tie it in at all by going through the wires and then up over the sensor?

 

[danh90]

Didn't think of that yeah it should work find putting a cable tie through it

Cheers Danny

Sorry mate, wasn't sure if you meant the TPS. ICV is on the back of the plenum next to the TB join.

 

[Martin_172]

just as above, id cable tie it in

 

[Dan@SJM]

The clip you've snapped is the loom, not the sensor, so cable tie is your only option, onless you fancy removing the pins and putting a new one.
