2002 Ford Focus (LR) Idle Control Valve - DIY

A walk-through video demonstrating how to remove, clean and refit the Idle Air Control Valve on a 2002 LR Ford Focus.

This is a commonly known problem with vehicles of this age.

Diagnosis is typically determined by the vehicle starting to run a little rough when downshifting at slow speeds (where engine speed may drop to idle), when coming to a stop and also is severe cases where the vehicle starts with a rough idle.

This is obviously not the only potential fault, but it can be something that can be addressed if your vehicle is behaving with similar problems.

**Note** that some vehicles may have a gasket between the Idle Control Valve and the Inlet Manifold.

CAUTION ** The proximity of the Idle Air Control Valve on a 2002 Ford Focus is directly above the starter motor. Ensure that you disconnect the battery to avoid shorting/welding your tool if you do make contact and close the electrical circuit. **
