I have an 87 escort 1.9 wagon; trying to locate the idle control valve to replace it; I cannot locate it. I have a new one to put in. I have tried to locate diagrams - anyone who can help?
If you are talking about the idle speed control motor it is mounted on the back left side of the throttle body. You'll have to remove the breather and if it has never been changed you'll probably have to remove the throttle body, because those screws are always very tight from the factory. They probably put thread sealer on them to keep them from backing out.
