recently repaired the starter motor on my 2005 Ford Bantam Rocam 1.3i [replaced brushes on starter motor]. A day or two later I noticed idle was sitting at 1,400 RPMs. Suspect a couple of things but not sure where to locate [Google not much help]. Looking for the location of Idle Control Valve to assess. Still need to do a vacuum leak check [which I don't know how to do or where to start]. any other things I should check for? Thanks in advance

The idle air control valve is mounted on the throttle body. I have left instructions in the images below. Also, here are two guides and can help us fix the problem. Use the first guide when the engine is cold only.
