c20xe fault code 57

Post by aimable455 »

hi all hope you can help me. i have done the paper clip test because my eml was on and it showed up fault 57 which was idle speed control valve interuption, which would make sense cos the car hunts for revs and is jerky when puttin foot down.
so i changed the valve for a new one but the problem is still there with the same code, i was wonderin if i need the ecu reset to remove fault or is there something else it could be hope you can help many thanks steve :(
