idle control valve

common fault I believe

but the going round bends is odd....enough fuel?? is there an intank strainer on the '6?

[Grant]

He has said he has replaced the ICV....



Was it an OE quality part? Do you know what make?

Are you in an engaged gear when this happens?

[cully]

did you clean out the plastic port on the manifold when you changed the ICV?

[Matt]

Made sure all pipes are connected properly to icv and the bolts are tight. The I ring in place on it properly? I know I snagged mine once and it would seem like I had a faulty icv

[wibbz]

Thanks for your responses guys it was a icv from a local motor factors I will double check all bolts and pipes again as for the fuel I never have it below quarter of a tank

Reset the ecu
Can work wonders!

[Matt]

^^ and that, did you reset the ecu after fitting the new parts?
After I fitted an icv, with out resetting, it would idle at 2k or stall haha

It could be the ICV again if its just a cheapo one. Alot of people have had problems with cheap ones only last a very short time.
