Hi all, maybe someone might be able to help out there....
In mornings or when ever the car is cold the car should idle high as the idle control valve cuts in, but mine dont, even thou i have changed the idle control valve but its the same, and i can hear the idle valve buzzing when i high the key turned on position number 1, any ideas what the problem could be??
Cheers

Could be your blue sensor not working
Also check the round multiplug under the inlet manifold, i had same problem as you for ages, replaced feckin everything, finally checked the plug properly by pulling back the rubber covers, turned out the wire from the blue temp sensor was folded over on itself and had broken strands.
Cut it out and soldered a new section in, worked a treat. Right bitch to get at though but this area of the wiring causes a fair few problems.
