Previously i had a friend clean out the idle control valve. I asked Mandalay (and i appreciate his help lots) for the part number and it is very much expensive.

Well the motor keeps flooding with water because of the valve, maybe its broken or something messed up when my friend cleaned it. I disconnected the coolant lines, plugged up the lines, and started right up. Sounds healthy, and no water.

So is it possible to maybe "fix" the idle control valve so that it doesnt flood my engine with water? Im not exactly sure how it works, but i read someone elses thread on how it works but the setup was for ITB. All i know is coolant circulates through this valve controlling idle with heated coolant.

Thanks.
