Hi TT, itis a non lambda, the base idle is just under 2k with the iscv connected - same with it disconnected. I have not touched the timing, the car seems to rev ok when the throttle is opened. I am at the office this morning but will take a DVM and scope home so I can see if teh ecu is trying to drive it. I am suspecting that the valve is stuck.
Will let you know....
Best and all that.
