Mattphillip Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Hi Guys, My 1997 Impreza turbo is having a little problem, so when the car is warm and I pull up to traffic light ect the revs go really low and today it cut out. I've been reading a lot about cleaning the idle control valve but on the forums it's states to have a replacement gasket. I can't find one anywhere? I found loads for the 2001 model but not the classic. Can anyone help me out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldschoolSTI Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Use the valve or the existing gasket as a template and save some money..... http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2050601.m570.l1311.R1.TR11.TRC1.A0.H0.Xgasket.TRS0&_nkw=gasket+paper&_sacat=0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

savage bulldogs Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Import car parts will probably have them in stock [emoji6] If it's not broke .....upgrade it 😊 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattphillip Posted February 20, 2016 Author Share Posted February 20, 2016 Brilliant found it guys, now can I clean it without removing the whole part 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savage bulldogs Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Think a couple of members have cleaned their icv (possibly using electrical contact cleaner) but hopefully someone else who has done it will point you in the right direction If it's not broke .....upgrade it 😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kayzarh Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 I should have a breakdown guide in my manuals, I'll check tomorrow and get some pictures asap Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stants Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 It's on my never ending list to do, if you take it all apart there's a diaphragm inside which would be better off being replaced instead of re used, And What ever you do don't unscrew the two Philips heads on top of the sensor without marking them 1st at least, if that goes out of alignment you'll be Tring to reset the idle forever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WideSam Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Might be worth just checking the air pipe(s)? connecting to it. From what I remember they can go a bit brittle... Sent from my iphone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandals Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 I cleaned my IACV with petrol, worked quite well! Mine is different to the classic one tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
