Title: ISV
Post by: GTI16vGaz on 05 February 2004, 17:43

Hello....

Can anyone give me adivse on how to clean the ISV, don't you take the screw out  and leave it in CARB cleaner all night, i'm not sure how to do this.

My car is a 1989 GTI 16v 1.8

When slowing down to juntions and putting the clutch in the car wants to stall then the rev's get them selved back to normal until i stop again.

Any advice would be great....
cheers lads.  ;)

'Scuse I for being fick, but ISV?  Idle stabilisation valve or something?

I'm having a similar problem.  That and an idle that oscilates between 850 and 1k revs.

How do you disconnect the ISV spade connector, have tried pulling it apart but no joy, notice it's got some dimples on it, is there something special I have to do, our just brute force and ignorance (which I have plenty of :))

Just a quick note to say thanks!

Took the ISV out yesterday, cleaned it with carb cleaner and no longer does my car play "hunt the idle".

Cheers all  ;D

i have had loads of hassle with the car reving up to 2000 rpm.... and the valve was buzzing and clean....

i noticed that one of the wires had shafted abit so i cut the connector off and crimped to small slide terminals on and connected them back up to the proper terminals and all of a sudden the cars idling perfect.... must of been that.......its never idled so good....... just done an oil change today with the valvoline maxlife......best oil on the planet......
197477 and rising! ;D
