Taggy Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 I dont use the Idle control valve any more and its currently unplugged, does anyone know if i can take it off and block it up. I am sure i have seen the same intake with a blanking plug, possible on an N/A? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Taggy Posted February 22, 2014 Author Share Posted February 22, 2014 (edited) Well after having to replace 2 ICV's because they started making that awful high pitched "bipping" sound, i decided to run it without it. It does what it says really, its supposed to regulate the idle speed. Although when its unplugged on mine it makes very little difference, I would say the idle speed is ever so slightly less, but otherwise seems to run the same.

But I'm not sure how to do if easily. It's probably a inlet off and weld a plate job Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Taggy Posted February 22, 2014 Author Share Posted February 22, 2014 I have been running without it now for about a month, haven't noticed anything either warm or cold. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
turbo Grant Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 I have mine unplugged, needs to block the bugger off. The throttle body take care of the idle fine Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sjbrowning7 Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Have youse blocked it off then? I have disconnected the plug to my icv valve also but wondering what you have used to block it off? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
