Technical Idle control valve

[ozfish]

My 1999 Ulysee has the usual problem of uneven idling. I've taken the idle control valve out and given it a clean but it still ildes unevenly, though better than it was.
My question is when replacing a new one is there a sequence to follow, i.e let idle for a set time for ecu to recognise new valve or is it just put in, start up and drive off ?
I take it that they dont have to be adjusted prior to putting in as the valve is on a slider type mechanism ?
Many thanks,
Oz.

Got it sorted, its just a case of remove old (ignition off) new one back in, connect the wires ans start. Idles very high when first started after putting in, near 3,000 rpm for a minute then settles to around 900 rpm.
car runs so much better now.
Got a replacement part (brand new) off e-bay for £20 inc free postage. Far cheaper than Fiat and even local spares shops.
