You may want to check with fellow member dhanushs about the check points and options. He is quite knowledgeable with the Ikon. If you are sure about the IAC valve, you could try cleaning it, before replacing. There are scores of sprays available for such applications. Brake fluid too works. |

Marelli coil was from a spare parts shop & not from the A.S.S. A.S.S always makes profit on such spare parts only, than selling the car itself. |

Not only the Fuel circuit but the air circuit as well. However since you mention that it was serviced, I would assume there will be no restriction or leakage. The socket for the injectors is just ahead of the tappet cover, it has a tendency on my car to be loose. |

In my case I had a complete failure in Ignition coil for one of the cylinders and car was running only on 3 cylinders. Wimwian in your case since the car runs fine in lower rpm and a recently changed ignition coil, problem might be somewhere else. |

1. This is good news. I was not aware that some Ikon parts are available OTC. I wish some Mumbai Ford owner would help me with locating a good independent garage as well. That would really make my day! :) 2. I had the same problem when I got the Ignition coil changed, the car was running on 3 cylinders and the loss of power was quite obvious. This time it feels different, the loss of power is only intermittent and under hard acceleration. 3. A little OT: Have any of you Ford owners ever experienced a strong smell of petrol in the cabin sometimes? I've been noticing this off-and-on for many years now... It's not a very frequent affair and I've never been able to replicate it at the service station, so it's never been addressed properly. |

I'm not completely convinced that the IAC valve is to blame since there are absolutely no issues with the idle timing. |
Also, is 7.5K a reasonable quote? |
