Cleaning the ETM only hides the problem really. It's the internals of the ETM that's failing.

I was thinking about James' problem just now and remembered...

By the way, mine has just started the erratic idle today (see my post), and in my case it's a new ETM as the butterfly plate has been cleaned by me twice in 12 months and it was never that dirty. Be...
