The ICSV is located just infront of the Throttlebody area. Here's a pic...

It's the gold part next to the red TPS sensor.

To remove it you need to pull out the plug on the top, then undo the jubilee clips and also a nut on a small bracket, then simply pull off the two pipes connected to it. It's shaped like a an upside down "T" piece basically.

Then clean it up. To operate the shutter (open/close) whilst cleaning, use cotton buds. Perfect size. :)

how would i make it open and close?

just by pushing it with the cotton bud

pushing the cotton bud into the airfilter side of the mechanism or from the inlet side?

Both. :) It'll make sense when you have it off and in your hands.
