theres no guide on idal control valve location on blacktops so heres a guide on were to find it
the other guides are for silver tops and are totaly diffrent
the icv is located
on the drivers side of the engine below the first inlet port the/injector/sparkplug
you wont be able to see much of the sensor but the 3 wire plug is visible
also you can follow the vacume pipe that goes from the trottle bodie to the icv
in the first pic the arrow going don points to the icv location, the top arrow shows the vacum pipe that leads to it
close up pic shows the icv (circled) and i have drawn a arrow to the same vacum hose to help show were the pic was tacken from
going closer but pics from side of bay heres the sensor(circled)
this is the closest i can get a pic, the icv is held in place with a large rubber band, undoing the vacum hose from the tb will help get it out
(wont move if the hose is connected) just unplug the sensor and hose and pull the icv towards the passenger side(you will have to do somme of this by touch as you cant see it propley), then you will be able to follow the last hose back to airbox(mine goes to my raceland) and disconect it
you dont need to remove anything other than your induction kit/airbox(to get your arm around the inlet manyfold)
make sure that when you remove and refit you havent knocked any vacum pipes lose(theres a small pipe with a t join infront of the inlet manyfold that came of easy on mine) or it will run like shit
hope this helps a few people out as its asked a lot
will be linked to my other guides in the stickys
