Hi Bud
I would mark idle control valve placement and take it off for a clean, the put it back where it was and see if that sorts it. If it doesn't carefully adjust the valve to see if any change, if not possibly aic valve. Als does kill these after a while!!

Hi bud yes the aicv is on the inlet manifold to the right hand side. Clean it with carb cleaner or such. There are no timing marks as such so mark it's position before you unscrew it.
