[Engine] idling

[my mucker]

i am sure there's an answer here but cant find it !!! i have lingo 1.9d no turbo 03 model !! my idling is constant at 1050 revs when its warmed up as well !! i have been told it's the idling valve wants replacing !! where would this be on the engine !! (i have no manual ) thanks in advance GWYN

I'm no 1.9 expert, but I think you may need to check the 'waxstat' that makes the engine idle faster when cold.

Haynes manual is on here somewhere....

As cancunia says waxstat or you may find a small pipe split from the solenoid this is just for the fast idle when cold where the waxstat advances the pump via a cable.

I bet many on a split pipe, seen it many times

Thank you both very much indeed and I believe you !! I know this is going to sound totally naive !! Where are these items in the engine bay ????

Now you are asking the wax-stat will be from the cooling jacket somewhere to the pump IF its cable type. The pipework and solenoids for the fast idle could be anywhere they are different for different years. In not even sure your fast idle is controlled by a wax-stat it may be done via the ecu via sensors and vacuum pipes.

What im saying is there is no way i can help you over the internet - maybe find a friendly mechanic to have a quick look.

Maybe the Haynes manual will have that info.

Just follow the cable back from the injector pump, there are two cables on the pump, one is throttle ( very long and obvious ) one is short which is the one you will need to change.. From memory it is a 24mm spanner , there will be a loss of coolant but should only be a small amount so just top up the expansion tank when needed.

Check adjustment prior to replacement.
