Idle Control Valve

[DDCole]

I have a 2020 Talon 1000x-4 Live Valve that was having a hard time idling and would die when I put it in gear. After doing some research I found that a possible culprit would be a dirty Idle Control Valve so I pulled it out to look and it was dirty. I threw that one away and ordered a new one. When I put the new one in the Talon now jumps from 2500-3000 rpm and back over and over when idling. Upon inspection I noticed that the plunger screws up and down on the new ICV so I thought that maybe it needs to be set at a specific spot before installing and I don’t have the old one to compare it to.
I tried a hard reset with no luck. Does anyone else have any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

It is supposed to be self adjusting.

While idling. Mess with the wires by pushing and pulling them around lightly.

I say this because it is common foe wires to break at the connector. Non visible. We sell 2 or 3 of these a week -

IACV connector for Honda SxS/UTV Honda Pioneer!

The IACV valve found on most all Fuel Injected Honda ATVs and SXS's has a habit of going bad. The issue for the Pioneer line is the wire will break inside the insulation causing a non-visible fault. Once you cut the head off the wire will fall apart. Our kit includes upgraded 18 AWG wiring...

You've got to line the slot in the barrel up with the pin in the hole. It can be difficult with the smaller slots in the bottom of thr barrel catching on the pin.

If that's lined up and it's still jumping then it's possible you have a bad crimp at the connector.

I bought the pigtail to try. I’m pretty sure the slot is lined up, I read some comments about that so tried to be careful when installing. I will double check though. I’ll let you know the results. Thanks

Do I need to install the Air Intake back up to the throttle body test start the car or can I leave it off and still get the same results? I would think it wouldn’t matter for testing purposes.

how did the clean side of the airbox look?

Make sure the IAT sensor is plugged in or it may act up for that as well

How do you know we’re the slot Is

On the barrel is a long cutout, that aligns with the pin in the hole.

I usually turn the slot to position the iacv connector to where it will sit where it normally would sit. It can be difficult on a Talon to get it lined up, due to the location of the hole on the throttle body.

Well I thought I had the slot lined up, but I must not have. I pulled the ICV out and then re-installed it and now the Talon runs with no problems. I already had the rear plastics off so I removed the battery box for better access to the hole. I also used my phones camera to look down and see the pin. It was on the back side of the cylinder. Thank you everyone for the help.
