    ICV question...

    Could somebody please advise what is the correct resistance of an M42 ICV?
    Also, can a bad ICV be a cause of an M42 not starting?

    I just did a long list of maintenance which includes cleaning the ICV. When the ignition is the ON position, I cant tell if ICV is buzzing but when a 12v is applied, the inside turns open.

    Thanks.

    A bad ICV usually won't prevent the engine from starting, but it might cause the engine to die at idle.
    The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.
