Maybe mate, I have played about with that over the last month or so, will try adjusting that and see. I should of thought about that.....DOH!!

I would check that the IACV is working properly and seating as designed, only takes a stiff or badly seated mechanism to cause that type of issue.

Do you just mean stiff operation of the spring mate, I am pretty sure it's seated right but might be worth checking the spring on the iac, cheers bud!

I cleaned my IACV the weekend and although its probably a little early to say i think its improved the sticking throttle issue i was getting. It tended to occur more in the colder weather and it was quite mild this morning so it may still be the same.

However i did notice an irratic idle once i arrived at work but think that may be down to the gasket as when i removed the IACV the gasket was in two parts. I will order a new one from Rimmer in the week.

I cleaned with WD40 and a modified tooth brush then washed out with white spirits. The inside was covered in oil. looking through the hole the removed IACV left i could see the throttle body has a good amount of oil in it also so will need to clean that out to at some point.

I need to order number 9 but is it worth ordering number 8 instead? What's the bit with 2 prongs for?

I occasionally get a sticky throttle, but I just sling in a bottle of redex and it goes away. I`ll get around to investigating further when/if it becomes more of a problem than the other problems!
