Now if you look at the i.a.c.v you should see an opening inside it, part of it is green (black if its got carbon on it). With a screwdriver gently flick the green part to see if it moves freely, for best results give the opening a good spray with brake cleaner (halfords - £4) and give the silver disc a good spray and clean. Then re-fit the above
If you want to be brave you can unscrew the two top screws on the i.a.c.v (make a note of the position of the valve head as this will mess with your tick-over speed). Gently pull the solenoid of the valve (magnet inside it,so it'll be tight), with that removed you will see a post sticking up. with your fingers you should be able to turn the post left and right with no restrications.
It worked for me for about 6 months but it came back to haunt me so i bought a second hand one, will fit that when it arrives.
Sorry for the size of this post but i hope it has some help for you...
Would like to see some pictures of your STI 1 mate. Have fun
