No misfire. I had a look at the throttle body and maf earlier and it all looks pretty clean, from what I could see in the idle control valve hole that’s pretty clean but I haven’t sprayed any cleaner in.

One thing that’s vaguely confusing me, it may be a red herring and I can’t find an answer on google, is that of the stepper motor fix articles I’ve looked at there is no washer on them. The original in my car had a metal washer and the Lucas a slightly thicker fibre one. Has anyone else got a washer on there’s, and if not could the additional distance out be a part of the prob?
