yes mate the 'o' ring is on ill leave the battery of over night and try again tomorrow. I've tried starting it wit it out and it don't move is that normal?

[welshpug 1,657]

no, it should move, if that is the case I would check the wiring.

Ok will do thing is I've tried my old one out and that don't move.but my car idles fine cold and hot. but after a good thrash it starts to idle high I've cleaned it twice witch seams to help! I'm confused could it be my tps sensor

Ice wired a odd in to my car but I can't get it to communicate with my mates reader (£1500 snap on one) so I think I've wired it in wrong dos anyone the correct way (defo working)so I can check mine

The icv wiring should be standard no need to touch that aspect of the loom.

Right ive put a meter on the icv plug today and on ignition (stage two)there are two wires with 5v and two are dead! when the car is started they all go dead, no power.ive changed the tps sensor and still nothing,arrrrrrr!! any ideas? also dose anyone know what I should see coming down the wires to the icv. Any help would be really appreciated as im pulling my hair out

Right ive checked the continuity between the icv plug and the ecu and its fine also the tps and the map are good so the question is what else could be broke that would stop the icv from working ?? Could it be a dud ecu? Any thoughts
