How to Fix High RPMs and Unstable Idle on the Ford Focus 1.6 MK1

Model: Ford Focus MK 1 - Years 1998-2004

In this video tutorial, identify the cause of the malfunction of the idle actuator, which allows you to lower the idle appropriately and keep the engine at low RPMs on the first series Ford Focus with a 1.6 petrol engine. This component, located near the throttle body, is often the main reason the engine does not run smoothly; therefore, locate the replacement part in the engine bay and unscrew the fixing screws to remove and replace it. At this point, apply a light layer of sealant to the base to secure everything!
