Where do I find it & what do I do with it?

Hi Anthony, had a search through P/H but couldn't find anything on actually cleaning said item.

So hope this helps.

1) Location:- Standing on the Drivers side. The Stepper motor is located at the rear of the aluminium plenum chamber, slightly under the black mesh by the windscreen in the middle of the engine.
2) Cleaning:- Unclip the electrics and using a large adjustable spanner or mole grip undo the steeper motor. (careful with the mole grips, not really the correct tool for the job)
Clean using white spirit, petrol or WD40 to remove the black deposits, use a clean rag to clean inside the housing of which the stepper motor came out.
Before replacing the stepper motor wrap PTFE tape (optional) around the thread of the stepper motor a couple of times and retighten into place.
DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN AS IT MAY CRACK THE HOUSING. Spray connector with WD40 and re-clip.
3) Duration between cleans:- General consensus of opinion seems to be about every 6000 miles or 12 months. Or check if tickover is erratic or lumpy.

If you want the definitive answer to your question read Steve’s bible.

Big Al.

Thanks for that Big Al,

it gives me something else I can check out & eliminate in the morning.

All the best
