ICV ( Idle control Valve) sounds clogged. take the throttle body pipe off (back of the engine) and to the left you will see a tube looking casting. spray carb cleaner in it while revving the engine will probs clean it all out.

also there is a tiny pipe that comes off the throttle house to a valve near the engine its self. check its not come off.


im sorry i havent pics or wrote any more out - got to go back to work

It basically tells the ecu how much fuel to put in depending on how hot the engine is. Its the problem i had on mine and they are less than a tenner from vauxhall
