Idle air control valve removal

petem · 2nd December 2021, 11:57

Can anyone tell me what size the four Torx screws securing the idle air control valve, are please?

Nothing seems to fit. Suspect they've been rounded off. How best to remove if so?

also, should the top bypass hose be secured, or is it a push on fit only?

Thanks in advance.

had to be recovered today. Engine stalled and wouldn't restart twice. But did when it cooled down a bit. Third time, no go, so called for assistance.

The restarting issue is probably down to the known idle control valve issue. But, the engine cutting out was like an electrical problem, sudden and without warning. any thoughts anyone?
