Nice job…i have the same problem with my Punto
Dont forget to check the emissions control pipe that runs from the back of the inlet manifold as these are prone to cracking or splitting and really give you a nasty uneven idle.
hi i have a fiesta .1.2. wich keeps over reving when i pull up any 1 got any ideas. also woad you be abel to send me the link on ebay for the idel control vavles as i am thinking it may be that?
sounds like its the air flow meter located on the air intake just before the air filter
Hi Mate. my mk6 1.8 si cabriolet is over fueling the plugs were soaked in petrol. It ticks over fine once warm with a slight fluctuation in revs not major. Various forums say the icv can cause the over fuel problem what do you reckon ? If you can message me the ebay link i haven`t got nothing to lose in trying especially at that price, my local parts supplier quoted £60.
I have a 2000 escort sedan. It doesn’t have an rpm gauge on the dash but im guessing that it idled at a low rpm then i gave it a little gas then it just turned off. Tried to start it back up and nothing. Could this be the same problem?
thanks bud! Nothing I hate more than head scratching trying to solve a problem!
Great video mate, thanks a lot. Really helped me locate and replacing the ICV of my Escort ’98. Cheers from Denmark
I think yours is the only video on the whole internet on where this bugger is…Crickey! Cheers from the States…I never thought about taking off the throttle body!
Hi, 4000 seems very high but any fluctuation in revs and I would replace the ICV. Have a look at my video showing this revving up and down and see if it is similar. I think I called the video how to diagnose icv or alternatively send me a private message and I will send you the video. This is a very common problem on the escorts so I am surprised the mechanic hasnt replaced it.
Hi there. My escort ticks over like crap and when I rev it.
It revs to around 4.000 rpm and drops. Then picks up again.
Also I have a loss of power.
I have replaced the cat and sensor and full exhaust. Coil pack, Plugs, Leads, Had a new timing belt so the timing is ok.
And still I have the same problem. And no one knows what it is.
Would this be the idle control valve.
Cheers

just got an escort and its doing the same thing thanks for this vid 🙂
Thanks for showing me where it was! Took about 30 minutes to get it off then about the same putting it back. Many thanks!!
i changed mine 8 years ago, its hard to get to took me an hour.
mine done that but on the air filter that eltronik bit what gos to your air filter put a new 1 of them on and mine sorted it self
Good video. Thanks from USA. My Focus that I have had since new is now doing thing. Driving me nuts. Now I know what to do.
Fantastic video mate- it’s really good of you to share your knowledge! Any more on Ford Scorpios- thanks!!!!!!
hi there i have a escort gti 1.8 ive took your advise matey and got the valve on ebay for 19 pound ive fitted it and basicly still doing the same thing and it just chucking loads of fuel through was your car doing this ?? mine failed on emmissons i have also repaced the following parts and they have had no effect lamber sensor,coil pack,ht leads,spark plugs im now thinking MAF sensor but i dont think the idle crontrol valve has worked as its idleing irattily and i dont know what else to change
im a mechanic took me a matter of minutes to replace it 🙂 if your mechanicly minded if not then could take a while
don’t know if you know focus’es ..I have a 2000 ford focus with the Ztec motor I put in a starter the car ran like crap stuttering realy bad and not going over 30 mph that starter went bad only two days later got an other one from same junk yard. put that one in and now the car won’t start at all engine turns over but wont start but if i unplug the connection that is on the air tube that is from the airfilter it tries to start but sputters ever have that problem please help thanks
im just about to replace mine did you get yours from transit parts on e bay as they seem to be the biggest seller of these had a quick look at the job seems relatively easy good vis thanks for the info iam part of the escort club forum online have a look on there plenty of useful tips
I’ve just ordered one so I’ll let u know how I get on.
The one i got off ebay is still working a treat (5 months, 10K miles later) so dont buy genuine at over 100 pounds. set aside 4 hours and you should hopefully be done in 2-3 hours. It’s not a hard job in terms of knowledge, just awkquard as hell as you have very litte room to work. I teach chemistry and managed to do it so most non-mechanics should be fine with a little patience.
Excellent video mate. Was it a couple of hours to do? My 1.8 Si escort is doin the same and it’s driving me crazy. I’m a total novice at the mechanical side so I’m not too confident I can do it.
Hi. Thanks for your help. Well I ended up getting a diagnostics test and it’s code P0107 map sensor. I bought a second hand one and the erratic idling has improved. Only now when I come to a stop the revs shoot up to 3000 and slowly drop with idling at about 1200. Driving me mad now!
Its rare but sometimes the ICV is bad from the start also! I had that once with a brand new one. Worth a thought….
Lambda sensor would be my next port-of-call. Pull it out of the downpipe and clean up with lots of wd40 and see if it makes a difference. They get coked up over time. Failing that I would do a full service – plugs and points and if that didnt cure it then I would get it put on diagnostics and fault coded.
Hi. I’ve followed your instructions to change my ICV on my mk4 fiesta. All appears OK just the idling is sitting still, fluctuates from 800-1200. I left the battery disconnected for 2 hours and had a 10 min nice drive. Do you think it I should try cleaning the air sensor next and how is this best done? Many thanks 🙂
ok, send me, thank you!
