   I've a 1.4 and it isn't idling properly so i cleaned the ICV and now it's reving high, so im waiting for another one.
   Im just cleaning the other sensors out of boredom, cleaning the engine to be honest. And I've checked the sensor and it looks abit oily inside.
   
   How do you clean it?

   I used carb cleaner on mine. Made sure it was fully dry when i put it back in.
   
   Did you reset the icv after you cleaned it? (switch ignition on and off a few times waiting a second or 2 inbetween).
   
   If your cleaning sensors you might as well do your crank on as they get covered in clutch dust. (http://www.saxperience.com/forum/sho....php?p=4673397, pictures in that thread).
   
   How does it run whilst driving?

   Spray some carb cleaner inside, give it a good shake out. Allow it to dry before fitting.
