Hi,
I have prob with my Marea Weekend 1.6 16V 1998. It had broken thermostat (first) and head gasket (after I think), so that coolant got mixed with oil. That same day the engine cutted out when idle. Head gasket (and many others and thermostat where replaced. Everything seems fine, when accelerator is pressed, but when idle engine simly cuts out (revs fall down to 0) and engine stalls. I've read in forum that it could be dirty idle control valve, but WHERE it is located and width what I should clean it? Maybe you can give me other suggestions with these symptoms. I've tried to reset ECU, but I can't, because after removing battery and reconnecting I can't let the car run idle for five minutes, it just stalls But in the morning one time engine didn't stall when idle (engine was cold)? Please help me with this problem if you can?
