Any chance you cleaned the idle control valve?

Only ever worked on one single point saxo and I took the inlet manifold off and cleaned everything in the parts washer and blasted it all through with brake cleaner. Solved the problem of shit running and bad idle.

i had the throttle body off, cleaned it , the idle control valve is the black bit attached to it?? has a little spring on it with a rubber housing around it?? if thats the icv then yes ive changed it lol

Not too sure mate I am not really familiar with the set up on the single point. It should have a 3 pin plug coming out of it. if you have cleaned it and still the same problem it could be worth finding a replacement then sending your injector away for cleaning/inspection at injector tune.

thats correct mate. the black box is the stepper motor/icv. its a sealed box so all you can really do is spray the spring with wd40 or replace it
