Title: 2.0 Idle control valve
Post by pat on Jan 13^th, 2008, 12:30pm

Have fitted new ignition harness and idle control valve both ex- Fordpartsuk. Still have the poor idle/hunting which wasn't there until harness fitted. However, something is wrong somewhere. The socket on the valve for the wiring plug points straight up i.e is at 90 degrees to valve body. The wiring comes up from underneath and it is an unnatural stretch for the plug to go up and over into the socket. Can someone confirm please whether I have the right valve. My electrician has gone AWOL with the old one so can't compare. FPUK previously assured me there is only one harness listed so don't think it can be that.

Sounds like you have the valve for a 2.3 - but whether they are the same specification apart from the angle of the plug I don't know.

My 2.9 12v Scorp and its predessor the 2L Granada (final model) both use the same Hitachi style of IACV - the one with an axial socket at end of the valve, rather than a socket at right angles. So assuming the Scorp 2L engine is the same one as the last Granada 2L then it should be the Hitachi style IACV unit. I also think the plugs for the two types of valve differ, so that might be another way to confirm you have the wrong model.

Pat if you look at my second link in the post that Andrew has suggested above you will see the two different types of IACV. The 20ltr one is 'straight' whereas the 2.3 is angled. I had the wrong one sent for my 20ltr from Fordparts UK first time. The 20ltr is 1063996 and the gasket is 7165249. If you check your invoice it will probably show 1058383 and gasket 7090339 which is the 2.3. There was a recent post however which said that the 'wrong' unit still worked. ;) Found it. Have a read of THIS (http://www.fordscorpio.co.uk/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.pl?board=Problems;action=display;num=1198247831) ;)

Thanks guys. Quite right about part no. Dave. Have contactedFPUK and at first they said 1058383 was the only one Ford supply but have rechecked and now say 1063996 is also listed. The "wrong " valve didn't cure the problem and I don't know now whether to get the correct one or cut my losses and give it best. Working on it is beyond my capabilities and trying to find a local garage/mechanic who understands Scorps has not borne fruit. Does anyone know of anybody in the Notts area?
A 2.0 Estate and a 2.9 saloon as a job lot anyone?!
