   Sounds like you have a serious air leak somewhere. Get the car idling and spray carb cleaner around the engine particularly pipes and joints. If you have an airleak, the RPM will change.

   thanks for that, i have to take the idle speed control valve back out to reset it,to get it to idle again,iv done the head gasket on it, it was running fine for a few days after,could it be an ecu fault? is there a special way to set up the idle speed control valve?

   if i unplug it, it cuts out. that means the sensors workin ok yeah? i cant think of anything else.it seems to be everytime i touch the throttle the idle valve seems to leave to much of a gap in the throttle body? it doesnt sit back properly when i release the throttle?
