HI......strange being here (first time I believe?) anyhoo....

looking for help with a part number, searched through eper without success and through the previous posts.

on the throttle body is a 'solenoid' on the left side (as you look at it) with a 6 wire multiplug on it and held in by 2 x torx 20 screws which i believe lets air into the engine when butterfly flap is closed thus acting like a stepper motor.

can anyone identify/part number this or have a picture?

https://www.fiatforum.com/barchetta/184977-cleaning-throttle-body.html post #13 shows a picture and its to the right of the main throttle body. I assume in simply moves up & down to regulate air flow, is it possible to physically move the plunger and if so how much?

here it is (arrowed) got this pic from a German webpage...apparently they were used between the seperate idle actuator and the fly by wire throttle setups.

i got no idea pop along to your local dealer an ask if you can speak to one of their DET's they should know

My Barchetta used to have one of those.. it was a cable throttle 2000 reg'

I did & he was really helpful, made me a coffee (and doughnut) and we talked for ages on Fiats, swopped phone numbers and later went to the pictures but unfortunally the parts department couldn't identify the part & said it comes complete with throttle body for £600+

Do not try and move the plunger by hand as you will break it.

The idle valve comes complete with throttle body, last time I checked £350 plus giving them your old one back.

There is no way around this, I took a great deal of time finding this out.

Goodluck with it, I hope you get further than I did.

I think it is an idle control valve aswell.

Im not sure it is right but have a look at this PN:46473851 (18 ELECTRO-VALVE)

I thought it was that aswell adrian but it doesnt 100% look like the part as there is no diamond shaped bracket with the 2 screws on it...not that eper drawings are that clear anyway.

That part is £130.

who makes the TB or the bits that go in? can you not email them for the part?

Is there anything at all printed on the Idle control valve?

couldn't see anything, same diagram for the 1.8 punto with same part number you supplied adrian.

put a wanted ad up for a hgt tb some one may have one, steve1219s may be a right off he is waiting for insurance to decide

I've just checked and old Fiat Compact Parts CD Ed.22 Date 03-1999

This shows a solenoid throttle body valve with Part No: 60608904 costing £123.89 in 1999

In Jan 2009 this part is listed at £220.32 (including VAT) and show as used in:

Bravo, Brava, Marea, Coupe, Barchetta, Delta and Dedra models.

Bit that really puzzles / concerns me is the MASSIVE price hike, almost doubling in 10 years, plus the fact that the part on the latest ePER is not listed/viewable.

The old Fiat song..'That part is on back order Sir'

Barchettaparts or DTR were on here saying they had a load of old B bits. Give them a try?

Yes if you look at eper there are quite a few surprises, ask a GP owner how much a 1ft piece of rubber pipe costs (£28!) or why a manual rear window regulator for a GP is twice the price as an electric one Theres making a profit (perfectly acceptable) but theres ripping the f*cking hole!

Anyway, yes its strange while the stepper motor isn't shown on eper, stepper motors for many cars can be brought from germany for £25-30 (no barchetta though:bang so why do you have to buy the whole lot now at a huge price that makes you wonder if its worth keeping the car!

who?

EDIT...ahhh good old google

This looks like the part you want... as someone else said :: Good old Google!

Air Idle Control Valve attached to the Throttle Body

Significantly less cash that the £130 someone suggested!

The mk1 ICV can be found for about 30€ on ebay. I have it and works flawless.
The mk2 ICV is a bit harder to find but you def won't need to change the complete TB. It's just held with 2 screws and is easily taken off.

I would first try to clean it. You can take the plunger out and clean the darn thing. I've done it a couple of times with the mk1 ICV's

You probably got problem with the car stalling when pushing down the clutch, and flutuating rpm when stationary
