My car came with no idle control valve and was disabled via kpro.
Got a 2nd hand 1 and cleaned it up and put it on today, now my revs sit too high, about 1700, thought once it warmed up it might settle again but didn't.
Do I need to activate it again it kpro? How any guide how? I had it plugged in to laptop earlier on kpro manager but could figure out how to do it

I‘d say you definitely need kpro sorted for this.

I‘m not an expert (so don‘t take this as gospel) but logic says - you‘ve had it mapped to run without a valve, so your TB is probably letting in the required air to keep it from stalling instead. You‘ve now put a valve back on which is also letting air through, so you‘re getting lots of air and the ecu is putting the required extra fuel in. End result - higher idle.

I‘m sure a knowledgable person will be along shortly to tell you how to sort this on kpro manager.

Good luck!

Problem solved, the idle assist has also been removed and wasn't blanked of properly causing a vacuum leak.
Sealed it up and idles perfect now.
I don't understand how it idled ok when the idle control valve was removed, but all's good now anyway lol
