My car has been having problems.. so I check the ecu code - 35 which says its the idle speed control..
I start looking through the book and find the idle speed control motor (which is really expensive). I've read on here about you guys talking about the idle speed control valve..
I know this sounds stupid, but are they actually two different parts or is it one part with different names?

and where would I find the valve? so I can try cleaning or replacing it to fix my problem before replacing the expensive bits.

So what your saying is the valve and the motor are the same thing.

yeah same thing Carso, you might be able to clean it up with carb cleaner, because its under the inlet manifold.

I didnt replace the O ring when I did mine over two years ago - covered it in gunk, cleaned it then lubed it - not had an issue since - it runs perfectly now and has ever since
