Fraid it's a right sod to get to on the GSi's, took me 2hrs to get the bloody upper section off, the ICV is in the side of the TB. Don't clean the AMM, leave it alone. It's likely to be a stickly ICV I think, as it can move fast enough and you get kangarooing

"kangaroo issue" lol, yeah

have not cleaned the TB, was a mission to get the upper inlet manifold of so i left it and the ICV!!

gonna give the air mass sensor a good clean.. what should i use??
and whats the TPS?? Throttel position sensor? weres that?

so you have a kangaroo issue?

Have you cleaned out the TB fully clean points on TPS and lubed ICV?

i changed my CTS 2 weeks ago hoping it will cure the jerkyness problem when i suddenly let go of the accelerator when the engine is warming up/hot!

its got a little better but still not cured.. it only cost £16 from vauxhall so was worth changing :)

Factors one will be about £9
CTS is the only sensor that won't throw a fault up on the ecu (well it does, but not when it's actually faulty, lol)

yes i do indeed have velos, checked over inlet for leaks bout 6times now, it sodwn to sensors i think ICV is off my old engine so no probs with that, CTS is next to be done. then hopefully it will all be sorted

im gettin one too to try sort out an intermittent idling problem when cold

he has a velos doesnt he?

coolant temp sensor will cost you no more than £16

i have a spare throttle body sat here, well not here but at home.......all cleaned up looks like new!

throttle pot... that'll cost a few bob tho :lol:

i thought u changed this.... this would have been the first thing i would have changed if i had your symtoms....

cool cheers, any other sensors i should consider changing? trying to get this idle prob sorted.

should see you out of 25 quid from vauxhall, make sure they sell you the one for engine management.... 2 pin, blue top :thumbs:

its for x16xe BTW

how much are they? could this be the problem for all my cars weird idling, fuel consuption etc when hot?

anyother sensors i should look at changing(ive done ICV):thumbs:
