    Ford Escort 1.6 16v L1 engine 1995 Idle fault Archived Message

    Very strange one this. Car uses ECCIV system, no faults stored in KAM, KOEO, KOER. It either won't idle at all or runs at around 2000 RPM and can be difficult to start. Removed, cleaned and tested IAC valve etc. If I plug my snap-on scanner in, it runs fine, starts well and idles at around 700 RPM. Disconnect scanner, engine stalls and won't restart easily. Plug scanner in again, it starts and runs ok. Anyone seen this before?
