Hi again somemore advice please,change idle control valve two weeks ago and the car was running fine again.But now i can run the car for as long as i like with no trouble but as soon as i turn it of and leave it for five mins and start back up it drives like a sack of potatoes.Same sort of problems as the icv again,car wants to cut out revs stay on 3000rpm for about 10 sec.Any advice would be good.

the cts lets the ecu no when your engine is cold. the ecu then throws in more fuel than usual until it warms up. if it is broken it will think it is running cold all the time and throw in heaps of fuel hot or cold. making your car overfuel a stupid amount.
