Idle valve query

Hi all...

Through this wonderful forum i have discovered that its going to be quite difficult to implement my current 4 phase idle stepper motor on my Rover.

A simple on / off idle solonoid valve will have to suffice.. Can anyone give me any pointers on how this is connected up and what it is connected to and more importantly do i need do have any holes machined on the intake manifold???? - Many Thanks, Scott

Why can't you use a PWM IACV?

I think if you live somewhere that the climate is not mild all the time you may find the fast idle solenoid less than satisfactory.

When you do your build it is not difficult to set it up for PWM control of a 2 wire idle control valve.
