Hmm ok mate.. air leak asin from TB to Engine.. Gasket or not tight enough?

sensors i took all from TB out and gave a glean not made any difference what so ever.

the coolant temp sender is a favourite. the air pipe from the AFM to the inlet regularly splits, and then the idle control valve can stick open, then there is the Exhaust Gas Recirculation EGR valve that can also fail.

thank you for these pointer :) this Fing Engine :@ more hassle than worth Lol

any pointers of where these are? EGR valve is the one on exhaust manifold?

coolant temp sensor on rad? not sure

Idle controll valve no idea?

AFM ? not sure

egr valve is on the inlet manifold near the middle, it looks like an advance/retard thingy off a dizzy.

the Coolant temp sensor is under the dizzy on the head.

the ICV is a funny looking silver coloured thing in front of the TB and it has a rubber air hose connected to the pipe from the AFM to the TB, and an electric connector. you can test it by simply squeezing the pipe closed.

It has a hot start valve though doesn't it? This could be leaking air through also.

From memory its a black pipe about 10inch long if it hasnt been cut and i think it comes from inder the TB
