try cleaning your icv its p155 easy just undo 2 jublee clips and unplug it then its off
when your / if your having the problem again spray all the vac ppes joint to the icv to see if you have a airleak in there

Its actually not that easy if you dont have a ramp and there are 2 water hoses in the way (from underneath) and its in a Nova/Corsa! lol

In a Cav it will probably be a walk in the park.

Another way to check for leaks is to clamp the breather to SFI box pipe - if it stalls its fine, if it stays running, there is a leak!

funny enough i just txt'd you lol

on a normal cav it would be esay but not a 4x4 one lmao

and if i pull the pipe off the sfi box it just stall's (which is normal)

I just undid the pipe to sfi box and put a few drops of 3 in 1 oil down it and it sorted the idle when I had this problem.
