Hehe no problem matey.


Well as it happens i took my ISV apart today and cleaned it good n proper.  I cleaned it about 12 months ago but it didnt cure my low rev problem. I only soaked the ISV which i dont think does a great deal, maybe a little.
 Inside the ISV is a valve on a spring.  Make sure the valve goes fully in and out. I used a very small flat bladed screwdriver to push the valve open.  Whilst your at it shove some more carb cleaner in there whilst you push the valve open.  I had the feeling mine was only moving so far on the spring and since ive cleaned and poked it the car is running alot better.  When i touch the throttle now my car only revs to 1600 rpm and not 2000 so there is an improvement!
