AFM, ICV, or something else?

[Cloggy Saint]

My 2.0 is running like a dog. At start up it ticks over but is very "lumpy" and drives the same. When it reaches running temperature it still runs as if it's being strangled, but refuses to tick over. I've had it looked over and was told it could be ICV or AFM problems. Both were cleaned but still no cure. Are these 2 parts interchangeable between 2.0 and 2.5? Which is the most likely culprit?

ICV would only effect idle. If it's lumpy under load in gear then it'll be comething else.

If it's something that's happened all of a sudden, check the ignition and the temperature senders too.

It's not a sudden thing, it's been getting gradually worse over a month or two.

Andy_magics standard answer:::

Blue temp sensor?

[Cloggy Saint]

refresh my memory, where will i find that?

[fowler]

definatly the blue temp sender controls fuelling located right under the fuel presure regulator you willl see a brown one aswell
blue sender to ecu to control fuelling
Brown to temp gauge on dash
Also check air filter Plugs
and oil

cheers for the replies. One more question, does anyone have a part number for this, the online ETK i use doesn't seem to exist anymore!
