    Clean the idle control valve mate there is a good guide on here by db_sax. Should help bring the revs down.

    Its is the tps. You need to follow the two pipes on the left hand side of the manifold. One of them will be connected to the icv.

    Lol

    That's what the guy said the guide


    Quote 4rm guide
    'In your photo its just out of shot top left on the throttle body mate, with the plug facing back towards drivers seat. Think on a mk1 VTR its just 2 torx screws and the plug.
    I'm perhaps gunna get mine off soon and clean it before buying a new one.'

    That i`m pretty sure is your MAP sensor that`s where they fit them on early mk1`s.
