The saga continues..
So I ordered a replacement IACV from ebay however the one that turned up had a different black valve end to the one I took off the car. More pointy than the blunt end on the existing valve, so that's going back.
The one I have now is from worldcarparts.co.uk. Looks exactly the same although without the part number sticker. Identical otherwise except that the valve and spindle are greased and can pop out from the solenoid.
Is this normal? I can push the rod/valve in to the solenoid and if I'm gentle then it stays in, however it can and does pop back out if shaken.
As I say, is this normal? Do I just gently push it in the solenoid, turn the ignition on and off a few times and it sorts itself out? I could give it a try but the car is in a lockup in another part of town so thought I'd post here before driving over there only to find out I've got another part which won't work..
Thanks for any help!
Mike.
