FredParoutaud Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 Hi Folks, I've had problems before with the Idle Control Valve....so I just tried cleaning again and this time that didn't fix it. So I took it apart and the valve (rotary) was kind of stuck...so I cleaned it until it turned freely. I think that was the problem. However...I'm a bit at a loss as to how the rotary valve should be positioned when I reattach it (I should have marked it). I'll take some photos and post to show what I mean, but I'm not sure if the short vein (is that the right term?) is up or down -- or even sideways for that matter. there's a short one and a long one -- I'm guessing the long one is down and short is up, but not sure. I did a search and found several posts talking about existing articles here on how to clean it, but I can't find those articles. I'll post some photos in a bit Thanks!

homemechanic Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 i don't think it matters. the valve is open/close by an automatic electric pulse, and it will figure things out by itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
