Idle Speed Control Valve

[JazzyJames2001]

Hello All, below is a picture of my engine, most noteably the throttle body,

Where abouts is the speed idle valve on here, I know it can't be adjusted manually, but where abouts is it?

You do not have one.

It is ALL controlled electronically by input signals to ECU from various sensors fitted to engine.

The ECU then sends signals to the stepper motor to open or close the throttle as appropriate. All this happens in the closed throttle position ie. when you do not have your foot on the accelerator.

Why the reason for the question ??

Are you having problems with idling/stalling ??

Clean the inside of the throttle body with carb cleaner before doing anything. It will probably fix the fault.

As Dieselman but if the problem persists then disconnect the battery overnight and try again in the morning. After that get the throttle body bootstrapped again (electronically teaching it where to sit )

Check to see if the microswitch is working properly when the throttle is fully closed.

I am currently having the same issue, took it to a local garage and they adjusted the idle using the cable because my car would just cutt out completely. The mechanic told me that the 'idle valve' would need replacing

Clean it before doing anything else.
