Idle issues with 2.6 v6

[Tobs 1]

HI, I know this is an S2 only forum but does anyone know where the throttle body and idle control valve are on the 2.6 ABC engine?

After giving the car some welly from luke warm (had problems starting after leaving lights on for 5 hours), the thing doesn't idle lower than 1500rpm. It's as if the valve is sticky, but I don't know where it is to clean it.

Can someone point me in the right direction, or send me a pic of it in the engine?

Thanks

Idle valve is at the back of the engine on driverside,throttle body is at back of engine in centre

Thanks. Is it a ****** to clean? Does clutch cleaner work or will it destroy the valve?

All sorted now, she's fixed herself after I'd threatened to chop her up for spares...
