This might help ,
Hi there, new to this forum. i have a 52 (2003) reg for KA, 1.3 Duratec engineg
done a lot of searching around the internet and the forum and cant seem to get an answer
was driving upto a roundabout the other night and the car just cut out (i.e. stalled)...then took 6 or 7 times to get started...the engine was cranking over
got started...
now the idle has been very lumpy for quite some time on the car, im having to apply a lot more throttle to get it going from start, and recently it has started to feel lacking in power in comparison to usual.
i have narrowed it down to a few things, but the main ones are coolant temperature sensor and the idle control valve. i have read a lot and seen the procedure from removing the ICV from the Endura 1.3, however mine i a duratec 1.3 engine...and there doesnt seem to be much reference to this model...is it also a problem on this?
looking at the car, it looks asif the ICV is attached to the throttle body (which is at the front of the engine on this car)...am i correct? looks like a ball ache to get a spanner or small socket in there?
and this,
2003 1.3 Ka duratec idle control valve - sebwaree
Ford Ka 53 reg 1.3 duratec engine. Its running rough at idle, and juddery at take off, but ok once driving . Today I tried to remove the idle control valve for cleaning and refitting. I took off the air filter assembly and the throttle assembly... still could not get at it.. do I need to remove the inlet manifold to get at it.. this looks like its a big job for me.. surely it must be easier than that.. cheers...
If you go here , you will see a picture of valve which I think fits your car .
