Idle control and maybe intake leaks, how to for swapping in a 52mm Vanagon throttle body Options

I broke the plug to my idle control valve. I bought a new plug housing. Easy. But I’ve had a devil of a time finding the right socket pins for the housing. Several weeks have been stalled waiting for 80 cents worth of pins that show up and are the wrong size.

So, knowing the 914 has to drive next weekend, I went full DACO and soldered a pigtail of wires into the ICV and then crimped them into place.

About to find out if it works, and will continue to work for a couple weeks while I sleuth out the right sockets for the plug Wish me luck!

This topic came up again recently so I thought I'd update this thread.

After I did the swap in May, @JamesM and I did more tuning and we were able to open up new bins in the fuel map with the larger TB.

I did eventually replace the IAC with the new Hyundai unit and got that tuned in. Idle is much more even and cold starts are MUCH easier!

Ive put about 1000 miles on the car this summer, and I can say its never done as well as it had this year.


So, obviously, its time to pull that 2056 out and put in a 2.3.
Yes. Yes. I know.

But the 2056 will go into my bus, and we will see how well is does moving that around.
