anyone got one from a recentish TF that they're breaking???

Although I THINK this is the problem part, I'm reluctant to shell out on a new one, if it turns out not to be

Thanks

What's the problem, Maggy? Have you tried carb cleaner in it?

she keeps idling high and 'hunting' for the right place....
I keep resetting it and it settles for anything between 5 minutes and 5 days, but then starts again :(

Despite cleaning the IACV with carb cleaner, this problem persisted for me too. It's been fine since I did the Throttle body 48mm version 2 - Modification guide. Touch wood.
