remember when replacing the ICV if it is extended beyond IIRC 26 mm (or 30 for the GSi) you will have to push it back until it stops to prevent damage when refitting | |

Vauxhall or anyone for that matter will never clean things like the ICV out during a service! You can try spraying a load of carb cleaner into your inlet. Or using the redex, its great fun if nothing else when you put it down your spark plug holes! Smoke machine! | |

right cheers mate hopefully this will sort it out, is there anything else that could be cleaned to help the engine out that should be done reguarly or should it all be done with a service ? | |

Thorough clean with carb cleaner. Then lightly oil with some 3-1 oil or a few drops of engine oil. | |

No, these are electronically controlled on these cars. Some older cars had an idle adjustment screw. | |

I will give it a try I was under the impression talking to someone a few weeks back that you could adjust it to change the revs on the car | |

The ICV is attached to the side of the throttle body. On the left down the side of the inlet manifold. Unless you are running an aftermarket manifold. | |
