i dont know if this will help you but had the exact same problem on a cav sri, slightly older i know but on the injection side between the manifold i had a diaphram/vacuum unit [metal pot thing!] i changed that & it cured it, you might be lucky if the setup is the same ;)

idle control valve at a guess mate ??

small barrel shape item located on side of the throttlebody ..

if the t/b is really mucky idle will be aswell ...

2 x small allen key bolts n pop it of (take care of gasket) fill with wynns carb cleaner and leave for 1/2 hr then empty & flush with wd40 and refit ...

use the wynns and a lint free cloth to do the body aswell opening the flap manually to get right in ....

should sort ya probs   :y
