#1: 1.1 tickover problem Author: elland_canary, Location: west yorkshirePosted: Sat Jun 09, 2012 7:37 am ---- Have a w reg 1.1, won't idle. As soon as you lift off it stalls, runs fine if revved, will rev smoothly right through the range until you lift off then stalls. Starts first time as long as have foot lightly on accelerator. Was told probably MAP sensor, have changed that but made no difference, any ideas?

#3: Re: 1.1 tickover problem Author: Davies, Location: ManchesterPosted: Sat Jun 09, 2012 8:05 am ---- As Dave said, sounds like a ICV Issue, there is a how to on the forum on how to give it a clean, its literally a 5 minute job and can work wonders!
#4: Re: 1.1 tickover problem Author: elland_canary, Location: west yorkshirePosted: Sat Jun 09, 2012 9:47 am ---- have tried cleaning out ICV, not made a blind bit of difference
stumped again, thanks for suggestions though, any further suggestions appreciated

Try a wiggle test of the ICV connector whilst it's trying to idle. See if it makes a difference
Remove the ICV, connect its connector and see if the valve moves when you turn ign on/off
Check if power/ signal is arriving at the ICV
Check the resistances through the ICV terminals
They are only around £15 new if it is dead Last edited by Deckchair5 on Sat Jun 09, 2012 1:21 pm; edited 1 time in total
