Dear Thirtyists,
Question about the motronic 1.0 (green ICM control box) 2-prong ICV.
Bentley tells me that at operating temperature I should have approximately 400-500 mA running through the two prongs of the ICV.
I have 470 mA running through the valve with the adjustment screw all the way in, and 480 mA running through the valve with the adjustment screw all the way out...when the engine is cold.
I have the proper resistance of the two prongs at a perfect 9.5 ohms both at the valve and measured at the ICM connector.
1. Does anyone know what the approximate current reading should be through a properly functioning ICV/ICM when the engine is cold? I assume it should be less so as to allow more air to bypass the valve to handle the increased fuel being put into the engine during warm up.
2. I should be able to adjust the valve more than 10 mA, right? If I cannot adjust this valve more than 10 mA is the problemo with the valve, or the ICM?
Thanks,
J
