Idle issues :(

[rob2.2]

hi guys and girls,

just done the headgasket on the EP82 gt and it runs great and holding boost and water temp is great but i have a idleing issues,

idle is at 1k rpm so a little high

when pulling up to junctions or stopping the car sometimes idle's fine but sometimes the rev's drop and the engine either stalls or jumps to 1500 rpm then back to normal.

ive looked at a mates starlet and all vacuum pipes are goood and in the correct place,

is there an idle control valve that might be blocked/needs cleaning

thanks Rob
