    First, pull the codes, then clean the idle control valve.

    Have you tried cleaning the idle control valve?

    (The pictures seem to be missing ATM)

    Or about 15 quid at your local garage.

    idle control valve without a doubt,
    very easy to do & you'll get the 'sporty' acceleration back.

    while you are there, clean out the breather pipes to the engine that go to
    the same place.

    Works 'fine' ? :) You do realise it's a piece of useless shite
    designed to rip off stupid people don't you..
