when you mention feeler wire you got my brain working. I wonder if I've simply set the gap too wide? I cleaned out all the throttle body, AMM, etc etc 'cos it was all gunked up. The gap was huge after this and I couldn't get the car to idle properly at all, so I readjusted the throttle plate using feeler gauges, but I wonder if it's still too open. The revs don't stay high, they just don't die away as I would expect them to do.
