    Idle problem



    My car idles fine when its stood still but when i pull up at lights or something and pull the clutch in before it drops to 500rpm and then when i stop it corrects its self. Its a pain when i pull in at work because i have to turn the car in as im stopping and it stalls because the PAS is sapping all the power when i turn.

    anyone know which sensor it is and how easy it is to sort?

    Cheers :P

    yup it is mate, if you look on ur inlet manifold near the throttle body there is a black plastic pipe with a rubber hose on it, follow that and the ISCV is connected to it, the other pipe goes into the back of the airbox
