I had a similar problem when I first re-built my ca18et, the throttle valve switch needed adjusting if I remember correctly.

Oh dear

When you run the "self-diagnostic" function on the ECU it will give you codes for any problems that it may be sensing?

Search the forums for "ecu diagnostic" and I'm sure you'll find the instructions

I'll give that a try in the morning, thanks.

The ECU prob wont show any codes. I would start with some decent HT leads, a new dizzy cap and rotor arm, and check the CO2 emissions at an MOT station

it's your idle air regulator. mine does the same thing. it won't affect anything

I just find a faulty air reg used to stop it idling fast when cold as I assume they get all gunged up.
