It may work; good luck if it does, but I am not sure what other problems with fuel metering etc. this may cause. Possible incorrect fuelling at idle and MOT emissions failure.
If you are lucky the MAF and MAP will "see" the correct air mass, correct the mixture and give correct emissions.
Doing it this way you may as well disconnect the ICV circuit and set idle by adjusting the throttle although that would, even if it works without creating an MOT emissions failure, slightly increase fuel consumption. Last edited by kandlbarrett on Mon Jan 07, 2013 6:51 pm; edited 1 time in total

#18: Re: Car Revving Author: kandlbarrett, Location: SwindonPosted: Mon Jan 07, 2013 11:16 am ---- I assume (don't know for fact) for any or all of the following reasons:-
1) To take out excess slack. A few millimetres of slack is OK but a few centimetres may not be.
2) To make sure when the pedal is on the floor it isn't trying to turn the actual throttle beyond 90 degrees.
3) To set the throttle pedal at the correct height.

I would say clutch still! Might have other issues as well.
Remember when I posted this Tolkien about my clutch..
Anyhow if there's no increase in power and your revs just build then your clutch is on its way out dont keep revving high your flywheel will be getting damaged. Thats if its slipping mine was doing it a while ago had to get a new clutch kit fitted.
One way to test is put the handbrake on hold your clutch down put it in 3rd with a little bit of gas slowly bring clutch out if it stalls its okay if it engages then yeah it is the clutch

97browng: having re-read your problem I do suspect ICV is the cause of your poor idling and occasional cutting out problem. It is being sluggish to respond to the increased load on the engine. Yes just pushing the clutch pedal puts a slight additional load on it.
I do have another though but will leave that until after you have cleaned ICV / stepper motor.

Its short sharp runs and drives down to the shop that cause these problems...especialy with the larger 2.0litre models...they werent designed to run for a minute hear and there...
They need a good run out quite often to get everything working right ...give the bsi time to find its settings...clear out any unburnt fuel/oil on the spark plugs and stop them being choked up from overfueling on these short journeys.

Yes we need facts, best you dont post then eh
Check and clean the ICV and report back!
#23: Re: Car Revving Author: 97browng, Location: CardiffPosted: Tue Mar 05, 2013 6:19 am ---- Sorry for the very late reply. Just to let you know it was the ICV. Took it to the garage who cleaned it all for me and it is now working fine without any issues. I think it will need to be replaced in the near future but all well now.
