Nah it wont man, i had a hole in my inlet the size of 2 50p pieces and it used to rev ok some times and not others, just depends what side of the throttle body its on, if its before it it can cause these symptons

ive had alook an found a small hole bout 4mm in diameter after air flow sensor jsut before tb, could this be it? its on the air inlet pipe. would all the vacuum pipes etc on the inlet cause it if they plumbed in wrong? coz i had no manual to do it so used standard layout as much as possible
and yea it revs bout 1500 after bout 5mins when cold and upto 2000rpm when its hot an im waiting at lights etc. makes me look like im racing everyone or just passed my test. lol.
