What are the signs of a broken microswitch? My idle is very boggly, however my isv is not getting any voltage, i tried finding the reason but I don't know how to find it
@MK2GolfStoriesАй бұрын
Generally if it’s not clicking when the throttle is closed. There is a double relay under the dash which controls the ISV. I think it’s number 122 off the top of my head. The ECU controls the ISV and it’s dependant on so many things. I think voltage to it could be a red herring. Check things like vacuum from the ecu, check all pipes. Check the relay behind centre console in dash. Soak the ISV in petrol / carb cleaner -‘d shale it. Does the ISV buzz?
