    M103 2.6 Idle Issue

    I will give the valve a clean out before I try anything else when I get a chance, its not a daily driver so not in any rush to sort the problem, that's a good point about possible split rubber or even gaskets, I will try that and let you know how it goes. Thanks for all your advice

    M103 2.6 Idle Issue

    Quick update, changed temperature sensor and the issue remains. With idle control valve connected I get 1900rpm idle, without it connected it struggles to start and idles at 450-500rpm warming to a steady 800ish-rpm. Still haven't given it a clean out in white spirits but thinking could be a...

    M103 2.6 Idle Issue

    Indeed I have read that post a few times, I have searched many threads on many different forums and it seems the problem is always something different! Having said that I had a new Delphi temp sensor delivered this morning so I will fit that and report back how I get on. thanks again Steve

    M103 2.6 Idle Issue

    Thought I would give a quick update, plugged in the ICV from cold this morning and it started perfectly and idles about right for a cold engine, only as the engine warmed up the revs increased to about 1700rpm at idle. Took a quick voltage measurement at the plug to the ICV and it was reading...
