Fiesta Ghia - Fiesta Zectec S Control Valve - John6177

Hi,

I have a Fiesta Ghia, 2000 reg, which is a 1.25 Zetec.

I want to unplug the Idle Control valve so I can clean it as my revs are slightly Irractic.

My problem is that the air filter box which is located at the front of the car, sits over the manifold,under this sits the Idle control valve, this I cannot gain access to

this is due to plastic tubing covering it

Any ideas of how you get to to Idle control valve on this model?

Help appreciated.

John
