sounds silly but iv seen it before, the brake servo vaccum hose that bolts to the inlet manifold, is it fitted?

[novaboz]

yer its fitted mate

today i have had the inlet off seald it, put it back on, checked for air leaks changed and cleaned icv.. started it back up was much better say 2000rpm then i rev it, and started idleing at 3000ish rpm again, i tryed messing with the tps (throttle posision sensor) didnt really change anything....

any other ideas?

cheers
