Hi,

I've just put my engine back in my car and I'm not sure about what position the throttle body butterfly should be in when the car is idling? I've knocked the nuts out on the throttle body cable and I'm not sure how it should be redone.

Should the throttle body butterfly be slightly open when on no throttle, or should it be shut and the idle control valve let in the air to control the idle?

If anyone could shed some light, that would be amazing, I can't find anything about it in the service manual

Thanks
Ross

I think its what youv'e said above - should be shut closed when at idle and the ICV lets the air in

Yeah your right, I traced the ICV pipe and it goes to the airbox, bypassing the turbo/intercooler
