Ecotec idling problems, the next step

Post by ilovedmymantas »

If cleaning out your ICV doesn't work this seems the next step.

This link helped me understand my engine a little better :

I think this is the perfect site to 'put it into pictures' (scroll down for English)

It goes without saying that ALL Cavalier engines benefit from a good clean of all the breather hoses aswell as all the vacuum pipes and stubs.

I have often done my cam cover breather pipes, but never faffed near my throttle body - so probably long overdue on my C20NE just as a general maintenance job.
