Sticky thread in this forum:
sensors what they do and where they are located (http://www.106owners.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=25220)

Any help?

Edit: I don't have a GTi but those two sensors should be on the throttle body. The ICV can get clogged up with oil and crap.

Get some pictures up of your throttle body from a few angles and someone will be able to point it out. There was a picture on here but I can't find it.

The ICV and TPS will be on the throttle body. The ICV is a motor that moves in/out of the throttle body to let more air in when the engine is idling.

The red arrow points to the ICV

This is from my Quiksilver but it is in the same place on the GTi (to the right of the 16V box)
