no, i had it back from a full rebuild and it doesnt work, i took it back and he sed wen he pulled the cable off the gearbox, that sumthin inside the plug is pushed up, so ill prob need a new cable, but he sed take the clocks out and double check they havnt pulled off, which im goin to do now.
btw my clocks are cable driven, so would it still cause this?

In the cable driven speedo there is a cog that drives a VSS sender (vehicle speed signal) which gives the ecu an indication of speed. If there is no signal to the ecu (from the cable) then the ECU wont know when to open the ICV to allow enough air for the car to idle.
It will just need a new cable and reset the ECU
