if revs alter when you shake throttle body around it sounds like an air leak

from the idle actuator valve (haynes 4B.5)their a tube coming from it and where does the end off the pipe go as some one as put a a small filter on the end is this right ??? but theirs a spare outlet on top off the air filter box does any thing go on there

You have already had the answer mate, tighten the throttle body up. Think they are held on by 6mm allen bolts. It's simple stuff. If you can't solve then take to a garage.

TIP - to find the leak run engine at idle and spray wd40 around the gasket area, when the wd40 is sucked in the engine note will change (u will hear it change easily). That's where it's leaking from.

If the leak will be after the butterfly ie body to manifold. ( A leak before the body will not result in revs going mad)

throttle body is tight and no one answered the thread untill you just did but im going to try carb cleaner on the weekend see if i can find the leak
thanks
