   is the throttle cable free i.e returning when you let off? does it feel nice and smooth or stiff

   Similar problem when my VTS engine was first fitted
   
   Was the ECU coolant temp sensor

   thanks for your ideas but the T/C is new will check the pipes and the temp sensor was replaced a couple of months ago and seams to work as it comes on and off choke ok
