Sticking throttle body
Hi TeaselGee
That really sounds like the throttle body. Pull the big air pipe off front of engine. Give it a clean with carb or egr cleaner. It'll be filthy. Make sure not to overtighten the clamp when putting pipe on as this can misshape the throttle body housing causing same problem. When you have time take the body off and rub down the edge of the flap with sandpaper to stop it sticking in future. Only 3 torx screws hold it. Bottom ones a bit of a pain. Before I fixed mine, one evening had to crank it 14 times to get it to go. No problems now, I bought a second one from eBay so just swap every six months so as to give a good clean.
Cheers
