    Blue is for the dash, green is for the ECU as i had mine out today, tis right next to the blue one on the thermostat.

    You checked the throttle cable? It has a little pin to adjust it.

    Lambo sensor? I'm guessing you mean Lambda sensor? That's in your manifold and/or cat.

    The green and blue are both temp sensors, one for the gauge on your dials/dash and one for the ecu.

    As far as i know, these shouldn't effect the idle. It is most likely the throttle cable sticking.

    You should see on the top left hand side of the engine/throttle body, you should see the throttle cable and a sleeve around it with ridges on like the picture below:



    Take the clip off of it and move it up or down a notch or 2 and see how it revs then, should fix all your problems
