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. 

Use the valve or the existing gasket as a template and save some money.....

Thank you but I'm after the part number as don't mind paying for the original one

Import car parts will probably have them in stock [emoji6]

If it's not broke .....upgrade it 😊

Brilliant found it guys, now can I clean it without removing the whole part

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 😊

I should have a breakdown guide in my manuals, I'll check tomorrow and get some pictures asap

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

Might be worth just checking the air pipe(s)? connecting to it. From what I remember they can go a bit brittle...

I cleaned my IACV with petrol, worked quite well! Mine is different to the classic one tho

According to the manual this is how you clean it!

And here is the torque rating

Sorry bout the late reply
