03 1.25 8v Active sport - idle problems - bayley84
Hey, just bought the above and found that the idle is 1500rpm. when ive looked at the throttle body there was tape covering the idle control vavle. took this off and give everything a good clean and even bout a new throttle body with ICV. now the car still idles at 1500rpm but once the acclerator is touched it revs on its own between 1500rpm - 2000rpm constantly. Only way to gain steady idle is to block air going through Idle control vavle even though this is new. any ideas? thanks.
