Ford KA trouble. advise needed please

gillian0808 · 2009-05-18 15:58:02

Hi I have an older (R reg) Ford KA2. It has been "idling" oddly so using advise from this forum my Husband has tried cleaning, then replacing, the Idle Control valve but this has not cured it. In fact I thinks its slightly worse as today it did actually stall. Someone at work has suggested that it may be a sensor…

I had this problem, and it was that valve you spoke about earlier.

Rather than buying a new one I used to remove it every so often and clean it with WD40, then secured it back correctly and all was shiny and working again.
