UK based Marcos Forum access :

Did you register in Yuku? - click the Getting Started button top right. It

facebook, hotmail etc. Maybe some other guru can explain.

I did try cleaning up my idle air control, but didn't clean inside where it
fitted - but with 66,000 miles on the car I let it have a new one anyway.
