Okay well on saturday I decided to go to formby beach (like every other person in a 20 mile radius) and I was concerned about my coolant as my car tends to overheat sometimes.

However whenever I got stuck in traffic the revs on my car (mk1 55sx) started bouncing between 1500 and 2000 rpm then calmed down to below 1000 then slowly rise back up again. I assume this is the idle control valve? If so how much are they, and are they easy to replace? :confused:

I also just fitted my own induction kit a few days before, not sure if this has anything to do with it, it's like a GSR just home made ;)
 
Drove my car all day today, seemed okay although there was no stop start traffic. Still anyone know?
