Guest daz 6576 Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 hi there, cleaned my icv the other day and took it apart, the sensor has changed position when i was cleaning it so what im asking is, will it find its own position when put back on and driving again ??? im trying to get the idle speed down as its a bit high, tried to change settings on the throttle body aswell but i cant seem to get it down cheers daz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonB Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Yes it will, there's no sensor in it, just a stepper motor that steps in and out. The ECU doesn't know what position it's in, it just steps it in and out to maintain the correct idle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest daz 6576 Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 so the idle is calculated by the ecu ?? im runnng an after market ecu also, so has the idle speed been done by the person who tuned it ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. Although most aftermarket ECUs aren't capable of using the stock idle control valve so you may well find it's controlling the idle by using fuel and timing adjustments alone. What ECU is it?
