After replacing cam belt, water pump, cleaning Plenum, Throttle body & breather setup,when I ran it, tickover revs @ 850 RPM instead of 650 RPM.
What Have I done wrong?
I notice when I cleaned the thottle body out,
(I removed both flaps, one at a time, to clean all edges) when I reassembled it, they was not fully closed.
Is this correct?

No. They should both be fully closed.

I think its best to clean them in situ.Possibly not reassembled correctly, as they should be closed. If you get into serious trouble trying to get them right, I have a pair of throttle bodies for a 2.6/3.2 here.

Removed the Throttle body off the car and on inspection it appears the flaps don't fully close on the spring return, but they can be pushed to closed.

Is the fully closed position motor driven?

Think so

They rev high when the TB is not connected

make sure the very small vacuum pipe is connected under throttle body its easily missed that gives same symptom

Thanks for the comments guys. I refitted the throttle body this morning and when I started it up had the same problem, still running at around 800 to 850 RPM when warmed up. I ran the throttle test on Op Com. Now tick over back to 650RPM.
Thanks again one and all for your help and offers.
