;)Brains I have good news!

>:(Well i started to have idle tickover problems as well as the violent juddering. it was ticking over at 15 thou. ? So i investigated and at the front of the engine under the plastic bit that the plug leads clip into is an idle controll valve. its round with 1 hose connecting into it that leads off to the air intake and an electric plug. I disconected the electric plug while the engine was running and the idle tickover dropped to normal. So i left it like that. Since then i have thrashed the living daylights out of the car and it hasnt once done the missfire judder problem thingy!!!!!!! ?
Have i at last sussed it? I thought about replacing the controll valve but it costs over 200 quid so i dont think i will bother. Will just leave it disconected i think. Does anybody know if this is safe to do?

JUST HAD ANOTHER IDEA, HAD A PIPER CROSS INDUCTION KIT FITTED THEN CHANGED IT BACK TO ORIGINAL SYSTEM. WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF THE SENSOR IN AIR FILTER WAS BROKEN WHAT WOULD THE SYMTOMS BE  ANY IDEAS??

[judderi]

Well i managed to melt the wires on the sensor together and i noticed a lack of power flow through the range, bit lumpy etc. But dont think thats y prob. P.S what did y do with the induction kit?
