Anyone know where to find the ICV on a 1.6L 16V Ecotec engine, even better anyone know how to replace it?

don't replace, just clean it.

look back in the messages a few days,
about another car stalling at trafficlights message thread there is a site which details what to do in one of the messages.

very easy.

If it's the same as mine (1997 1.6i 16v ECOTEC) then Haynes manual says you need to get UNDER the car - to extract ICV from under the inlet manifold ! I had a mis-firing problem when engine was warmed up ( see post 24/02/2006 ), turned out to be the ignition leads. Forget about buying leads from VX dealer (£143+VAT !!), use Autovaux or other cheaper suppliers
