  • 1994 ford escort 1.9 idle

    when my brother turns on the air conditioner it seams like the car wants to die because the idle is too low. is there a way to increase the idle on this motor?

    thank you in advance

    the idle control valve is probably gummed up. They say it's not serviceable and you can't clean it, but I have cleaned 3 of them without problems.(it's bolted to the throttle body with 2 bolts, looks kinda like an electric motor). Just clean it out with some carb cleaner and blow it out with compressed air if you got it. Hope that helps.
    Driving for me is neither a right nor a privilege. Driving is my passion, as it was for the people who invented the automobile, the people who paved the first roads and the people who continue to improve the automobile. Please respect this passion.
