stepper motor removal

[neiloconnor]

Hi,

I'm trying to remove the whole of the stepper motor to give it a clean, as I am having some idling problems. However, when I remove the 2 screws, only a portion of the system comes out?

Thanxs for any advice.

you don't have a stepper motor.

What is the unit on the side of the plenum with 2 screws holding it in place, & wires connected to it?

[blaineuk]

think it is an air valve but not a stepper motor, only the hotwires have stepper motors

[chris390]

is he not talking about the throttle potentiometer

That has 3 screws, doesn't it?

Except my one. Mine has four!

Is it one of these you've got Neil?
If so it's not a stepper it's an over run valve...won't affect your idling I don't think.

Or are you talking about this?

This is the throttle position sensor. Again, won't affect your idle

Oohh just noticed on there, (off topic sorry) my hot spot thingy is disconnected. Should they be blocked off?
