[QUOTE="jarance, post: 213505, member: 21"] Many people still think the ICV is servicable. I don't think it can cos it is a regulating type. i.e. the control of air is regulate by opening and closing of the valve at a regular interval. Yes the car can run without the ICV but your idling speed would be erractic. When you disconnect the ICV, the RPM is stable!!! What is the RPM? Did you have any other device connected or did you tighten the throttle cable very tight such like you are simulating your foot slight rested on the fuel pedal. BTW, ICV does not affect the FC. It only regulate the small amount of air into the throttle body to achieve stable idling speed. When the engine or car is moving fast, the ICV is basically switch off by the ECU. [/QUOTE]
