Me again, Now I have cured the misfire with the help of you chaps, I now want to lower my warm tickover. It generally sits at 1000 but does occasionally oblige by dropping to 800. These are figures used by the cars rev counter, but seem to be fairly consistant. I have pulled the IACV off, found no gasket fitted and the facings in a state of general disrepair. I have cleaned it out as best I can with a can of carb cleaner and dressed off the facings, and put a gasket in. Seems to only need a spectacle shape or figure eight type gasket made of rubber, which is fitted. The whole thing is held on with two 7mm bolts. Using images found on Ebay, the fitted IACV is the same shape as the one used by 1.3 Ka's etc. The Mondeo 1.8 one has a different shape, the main ferature being an electrical plug that is fitted sideways on as opposed to in line with the body of the IACV. Is the difference only a new way of building it, or is it significant? Also, the pictures in Ebay for the MK2 Mondeo IACV seem to show a fatter body that the one fitted to my car.
