1.6 Zetec Petrol. First turn of the ignition it starts then stalls. Second attempt it runs fine.

Anyway I thought I would give the Idle Control Valve a check and clean. BUT what does it look like and where can I find it?

If its the same engine as fitted to the earlyer focus its right in front of engine directly behind dipstick, under inlet manifold,next to servo pipe.lLooks like a silver canister bolted to engine with 2 bolts.
