where is my ICV located, i think this may be the reason for my eml coming on as sometimes it holds revs at 2k then drops when you rev it and others it will nearly stall...
Cheers

might be totally wrong here but is the idle control valve not on the throttle body?
i know that its on the throttle body on rovers and all it does is allow air to bypass the throttle butterfly to raise or lower the idle speed.
also your egr valve could cause it to nearly stall or cut out. my knowledge of vauxhall is limited but goin by the picture your egr valve looks like the bit thats on top of your manifold and it doesnt look like its connected. poss this could be part of the fault but as i said i might be wrong as i have limited knowledge on these engines.

the tb butterfly is in the throtttle body its the bit thar flaps open and closed to let air in. if you look at your pic the tb is the metal bit between the manifold and the pipe that connects to the air filter.
not sure how it works on vauxhall but itll either be adjustable with a scew or have a stepper motor that adjusts to keep the idle speed right when there is a load put on the engine. if it has a stepper motor there will be a plug on it.
the majority of the cars i have worked on this needs to be set on the computer unfortunatly.

can anyone post up the TIS thingy on how to replace, do you have to take off all that metal bit inbetween the dblias and where the airbox would go ? Please say you dont cause one of the bolts has been rounded off
EDIT: Dunno if TIS will help as its all moved... could do with knwing how to remove it though. or cleaning it.
