Hi all. I Need some advice please. I have a slow idle problem with my 2010 Roadster Sport – it idles ok most of the time but occasionally the revs have been hanging at around 2000 rpm with the clutch in eg at a junction. Suspected duff ICV so I swapped the old one with a brand new, correct part number cheap one (£20) from eBay. Not advisable to buy cheap I know but I could not get one from my local Ford dealer (part number on the original ICV not recognised and then disinterest) and a Morgan dealer suggested £164 + VAT shipped from Germany.
The cheap ICV changed the nature of the fault (a good thing from a diagnostic perspective) to a rather disconcerting rev hang at 4500 rpm following hard acceleration, which lasts until engine is slowed down by braking; otherwise normal slow idle. So I have removed the new ICV and put in the original post a good clean. Seems to have cured the original slow idle problem but I don’t trust it and wish to fit a branded new replacement if I can find one that costs less than £200.
The part number on the original ICV is 3F1E-9F715-AC and I assume that it’s the same as the ICV fitted to a Ford Escape. Does anyone have an alternative part number, know whether the ST220 ICV is the same or any other suggestion?
Thanks in anticipation.
Chris
