Idle questions.
Posted: Tue Jun 10, 2008 6:32 am
Hey everyone, I have a few questions about my IDLE which is after all this time is not perfect, my current idle control valve (the H wax filled one) is stuffed, I have a spare which seems in better condition, but I cant remember if the valve is supposed to fully open, or fully close when hot/cold, I have tested it, there is movement with the valve, but like I said, I don't know if its supposed to fully open or closed at any point, or just opens bigger or smaller.
Can anybody clarify?
Next is the option of swapping to the electronic system, I was reading up that this is easy enough and a good solution as every H valve in the world seems to be stuffed, but I was curious about this, the book I was reading mentions that you can just grab the lot off a motronic m20b20 and pull out the old, and replace with the new, and wire up the ICV to a 12+ ignition source. Has anyone done this? I was looking at an m20b25 (prefacelift) one of these and the connector plug (to the ICV) has 3 pins, does this mean I cant just connect it to a 12+? Are the b25 versions different to the b20? And also, is it different from FL vs P/FL?
Any info always appreciated!
Cheers,
Alex.
