    ok...
    nsf hub done
    oil n filter done
    plugs leads n cap done... firing on 5 again.. phew..

    issue still remains wih holding revs.. is it likely that although i hear rattle in icv it could very well be causing my problem and still be knackered..

    when disconnected it drops revs when changing gear....

    ok.
    . throttle body cleaned but not removed..
    . icv cleaned
    .2 x vac hose rubber elbows renewed.

    still holds revs changing gear.

    .am i right in thinking that icv althogh free could still be up the creek.. when disconnected it drops revs.
    starts idleing at 900 from cold increasing to approx 11-1200. this is same with icv disconnected..

    #11.... ok. cable seems to be free. gunk free on throttle spring... dose not appear to be snagging or too tight..

    #6..... assuming it points to the map what would the solution? i never bothered to research tuning beyond its factory setting,
    bought car recently so mot really sure if its been tuned/mapped previously.

    It should idle at 800 and it should hold revs between gears.
