   My engine is hunting once it is warm, i'm also experiencing a small lack of power at the same time, i've been told the two issues are probably related.
   
   I've cleaned my ICV, did nothing.. Replaced it.. did nothing? The most noticeable lack of power is in 2nd gear it bogs down a little and takes a while to pick up..
   
   Any ideas? Starting to really annoy me now!
