    Any codes? Signal voltage and reference voltage present? What are the live data readings for IAC?
    Yesterday we stood in front of the abyss. Today we'll move ahead.

    If you need any repair manual, pm me- maybe I can help you.

    How about voltage supply to control valve? Did you calibrate the new valve?

    I had similar situation.
    Spark plugs had big gap, i replace them and spark plug cables too.
    Some interference i believe, cosed by bigger voltage.

    1) Second about the spark plugs and HT leads - seems to ring a bell
    2) Head gasket - Is there any Helmons Mayonase in the cranck cas breather pipes.
    3) OFF TOPIC:-

    *THINK* it is some vauxhall in the air filter box is a piece of 'brilo pad' remove this and use to polish somebody's car you don't like.
