Hi folks, my car has recentley been stalling while the engine is hot ie motorway driving and while pulling up to junctions, traffic jams etc. The revs would drop very low and somtimes even stall this has been happening quite alot recentley, and it could be down to the icv so i wanna take it off and give it a clean but not to sure where its located in the enginebay?

Bolted to the inlet manifold, looking from the front it's just to the right of the throttle body.

12mm to remove two intercooler support bolts as need to take off intercooler to gain access, flat blade to undo jubilee clips on intercooler and turbo pipe the valve is held on with 3 x 10mm bolts and also has two coolant pipes underneath on it.you might wanna get a new paper gasket incase it breaks too ,did mine last week

My Classic had tickover problems..... when stopping in traffic revs would fall to almost stalling then bounce back up to 1200rpm and then fall away again.

It was the MAF.
