BM WORLD 1265 Report post Posted October 26, 2013 (edited) throttle cable wound out to compensate for a faulty PCV or ICV . icv units stick sometimes , need a clean and lube or replace with another. pcv unit only last about 100k's or 10 years etc and should be replaced . remove the oil cap or dipstick while running and if it sucks alot then its stuffed Edited October 26, 2013 by Brent HARTGE535i Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kwakaturbo 1 Report post Posted October 26, 2013 Thanks Brent but the throttle cable isn't wound up I've checked that but are the valves expensive and are they on the side of the inlet manifold 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
