Gentlemen, I suspect the idle control valve is playing up. Sometimes I get a high idle speed but a gentle tap on the body of the ICV brings it down to normal. Ive run some carb cleaning fluid through it, which provides some cure but not permantent. Is it time to replace the ICV or is there another solution?
