Re: Strange idle / no rev

If the car hasn't been run for a while, could be sticking fuel metering pin 
or some other restriction in the system. It would be worthwhile bridging the 
fuel pump relay, pulling an injector, pulling the intake boot off the top of 
air/fuel meter and seeing what you get out of the injector when you manually 
lift the plate. It could also be that the plate itself is sticking. Again 
easy to check. Note that if it is the metering pin at fault, you can't swap 
the pin out of another unit. Some injector cleaner or carb cleaner might 
free it off, or even just brute force - can't remember offhand how 
accessible the bottom of the pin is from the underside of the AFM.

HTH,
