Idle issue PH1 172



  Renault 197
Hi there chaps,
Was wondering if anyone could shed some light on my problem.
Brought the car & it idled very low & stalled when warmed up if steering was turned.
The icv was dirty & the throttle body was very dirty.
So a big clean of the TB & replaced the icv.
Now it starts ok & idles ok when cold.
But when it warms up it idles at 2k.
If I turn engine off & then turn back on it then idles fine until I drive up the road.
Checked all hoses & gaskets & replaced. Also the Throttle Body isn't sticking open.
I have searched this forum for idle issues but no one has said what the fix was.
Head scratching.

how many times have you run it? when i replaced my idle control valve i kept starting it and the idle dropped a bit every time i started it. i think it's the control valve getting to it's correct rest position so it"s almost closed.

I have been thinking this. I took it back off & closed it up a bit.
It seemed ok for a short while, like 5 minutes..
