Francis_G Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 My ACE engine is not idling correctly, I have cleaned the ICV and the idle Before cleaning about 1.1rpm After cleaning about 800rpm If I do not sit there with foot on the gas peddle it will stall. Is there a way to raise it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Francis_G Posted April 11 Author Share Posted April 11 I have a new cold start valve in as it would not start before. The idle problem kicks in at 80 degrees and above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Francis_G Posted April 11 Author Share Posted April 11 (edited) I have a fix. I also own a mk2 Golf and I spotted a detail on the gas peddle cable that is the same for adjustment, at the end there is a castellated section with a clip on it for tension, I added a couple of castellations to the tension and I now have 1k solid tickover. 😁 The clip sinks into the rubber grommet, lowering the tension over time. 😎 Edited April 11 by Francis_G 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
