now on the next problem, when i start the engine the revs shoot up (as expected) then when they drop down it cuts out & dies,
What happens if you apply throttle with your foot before the revs drop off and it dies?
didn't get a chance to try as it dropped to quickly.
if it's got t*ts or wheels it's bound to be trouble...............prove me wrong.

time for an update,

i disconnected the ICV & blocked the pipe from the inlet elbow & the TB, engine wouldn't start just rutned over coughed & shut off,

then reconnected the ICV & tried again, before i even had a chance to apply a little throttle the revs shot up to 3K again, shut it off straight away.

really have no idea what this could be.
