Hey mate au falcon v8 idle control valve, is the valve meant to be closed. Ive pulled mine off for a clean but the valve is open. Cleaning wasn’t successful it has a horrible idle runs fine otherwise

Thanks Gerard ji your English is easy to understand do bring some video on basic things if you can.

I'm sure I had this problem with a company Ford Focus 2005 1.6. Went into the local dealer three times before they sorted it. It was a very intermittent fault but the engine would cut just as you moved away. Not too clever if it was a busy road junction. Great video as usual Gerard, very well explained.

Can this cause an issue during start up? Mine will start to idle but when I press accelerator no response. Sometimes won't start

Are these on the mark 3 (2012) 1.6 zetech Focus also, as I have similar issues?

This video reminds me of the times I would stall going through intersections. Replaced the IACV and the problem was still there. While disconnecting the air intake hose I noticed fuzzy stuff clogging the screen that is located right before the MAF sensor. Rodents had chewed up my newly installed air filter and there's your problem. 1994 Nissan pickup. Now I use 1/2 inch screen on places where those guys can get in, eg. air vents for the heater.

I have a 2014 Ford Focus with an annoying intermittent problem. It drops revs to 200 then bounces back up to 1000 on start up engine warm/cold and when driving “ revs drop to around 200 and slows down” have had the aux and timing belt changed already. Any help would be appreciated

I have a problem with my 2012 Ford Fiesta, 1,25L, petrol, manual transmission, 140K. Upon cold start (or rarely during the day), it would rev up to about 2000 RPMs; the arrow would become slightly erratic and I can hear the engine fluxing, obviously.… The car starts up fine though, but I can feel slight power gaps between shifts as I begin movement. And then, when I come to a complete stop (at a stop sign, for instance), the car would just die - quietly, no jerks, no violent displays - the engine just shuts off. I can restart it easily and continue driving with no problem, no power gaps, like nothing happened. Could it be the problem you're describing (awesome vid, by the way)? I see no warning lights when the RPMs increase initially, no error codes (I took it to a Ford dealership once to have it diagnosed by an authorized Ford service, but they couldn’t find anything and told me that since “the car is not doing it now, there’s not much they can do”). Can you recommend a course of action, please?

Do you know where the location of these are on a 2003 ford fiesta?

Maybe a different part number, but they use the same ones on the Falcon motors - same failure points. I think these ones use a duty cycle signal to open. Thanks for sharing 😊

Hi great video Im trying to diagnose my problem. Ita hard for a total novice driver like myself tho 09 Focus Drives fine but when Im coming to a halt at traffic lights for example. I slow down to stop, the engine completely cuts out DEAD on me! Now, my observations on WHEN it occurs . It happens say, 25% of the time But it happens 100% of the time when I have the AC turned on (having it on more lately due to clear windscreens due to winter weather) Explaining this to so called car experts at work, they say confidently I need to replace my battery but researching online, battery problems usually lead to lots of things I am NOT experiencing tho. Such as dimming headlights, radio cutting in/out, windows working poorly etc. none of this happens. Got me looking at IAC, cleaning the throttle, cleaning fuel injectors, replacing fuel pump etc. just all over the place now! 🤦🏻‍♂️ Thanks for reading! Any help will be greatly appreciated as I am seriously sick of my engine cutting out! Its doing late at night in built up areas with low visibility which is starting to become quite dangerous coz I can be turning into a junction, and it will cut out because I have slowed down, so Im left STOPPED in the middle of a busy road and the junction im turning into! It cutting out approaching traffic lights is TOLERABLE, but not when Im turning into junctions man!! Again, THANKS!!! Merry Christmas & all the BEST every one! 🍺

Did replacing your IAC solve the issue? Your car seems to have the same issue as mine…

I currently have issues with my Ford focus 2.0l convertible so far no mechanic has found the issue one said fuel pump but after £395 later it’s still doing it and that’s jolting while driving and like you said when slowing down to lights roundabouts etc then it will stall but I know it’s gonna happen if it starts jolting first I really don’t know whatelse todo as seems that the mechanics don’t want to test things to rule things out rather than say swap this part or that part and we’re go from there! Grr 😖 any advice would be appreciated many thanks

Did you get it fixed? If not you maybe check out your fuel pressure sensor. I just watched a video on this where the fuel pressure sensor was telling the car it had too much fuel pressure so the computer would tell the fuel pump to stop pumping as much fuel and the vehicle would stall. The sensor was faulty, causing the vehicle to essentially starve itself of gas.

nice one, Gerard ever used twist ratchets i love them, twist the handle clockwise, anticlockwise or just use it like a fixed handled ratchet, good for tight spaces

This video is not for 2006 ford fusion sir ??

*TAKE NOTE* i had stalling and idle issues when coming to stops/in idle and when i removed the ICV it would still move when energized and had proper ohms when checked with multimeter however mine seemed dirty. I ended up just replacing it because all the symptoms just made sense but i almost didn't because of it doing what it seemed to supposed to when bench tested, i assume maybe with how dirty it was it wasn't opening fully as it maybe should have or would start to close when it wasn't supposed to due to a internal electric fault in the valve or gunked up, i assume, now it idles nice and consistent and after a few test drives with stops/goes it has not stalled, fingers crossed. hoping this may help someone who almost rules out the icv cause it bench tested good but still have text book ICV symptoms, these are also common on e46s and usually can get away with cleaning them, might be worth a shot on the fords as well if in a pinch. Fingers crossed!!!!

Hey, can you gives an update? I am experiencing the same issues Ford Focus mk1 1.6 gasoline engine. I've cleared the throttle body and the ICV, tested the ICV with 12volts and getting good response, overall looks clean inside. I've cleaned the MAP sensor, new plugs, cables, ignition coil and the problem still persist.

Does it work for 2010

Hi, is this related to code P0171? On Mk1 ford focus?

@BigEightiesNewWave

Жыл бұрын

Yes, mine needs an IAC My 2002 Focus Zetec 2.0 DOHC idle hangs too high, too long, then comes down and gets rough. The hanging is the IAC bleeding in too much air, for too long, makes ECU think lean, so after a certain threshold of adding fuel, say 25% or so on the fuel trims, will eventually set a P0171. Mine took like a week to actually set the code.

I changed my and not it over accelerates it self I’ve tried 2 new ones but they do the same thing and can’t find the reason

its also important to get the Oem part instead aftermarket on these. Most aftermarket ones are junk, not made to Oem specs at all, causing high or hanging idle. There are maybe only 2 brands in those 30 aftermarket parts that works like the Oem.

This is impossible to do from top on USA model, a huge EGR apparatus blocks access.

Will this also cause a slight high idle after letting off the gas while the transmission is in park?

Definitely iacv ! But when replacing becarefull when buying aftermarket iacv, most of them doesnt work like the Oem part. also causing high or hanging rpm. Before changing this part clean the throttlebody and reset the Ecu.

Right always mechanical failure with no codes
