Its on the throttle body housing and held on with 2 retaining screws/bolts and is easily removed,if you leave it soak without completely submerging the electrical part[only the plunger end] and also clean out the hole to which the unit came from and then try it again again.
It may take a little drive to settle it back down and find the idle point after refitting the unit so don't be surprised if it doesn't work straight away mate
Look around for a split pipe also and listen when the engine is running for a hissing noise.

It can also hunt if your maf sensor is fubar'd (remember this is an MY99 )
Always worth cleaning the ICV out too whilst your at it, but had this problem on my MY99 V5 STI type R, cured by replacing the MAF sensor.

Its easy enough though the screws are the security type, so it does help if you have a set of drivers that can do it then its just 2 screws, maf out, new maf in, do screws, reset ecu, all done

They have a very thin element which breaks if it has too much vibration (normally from fitting induction kits ) or just dirt/oil deposits, and these are pretty cheap anyway, much cheaper than an engine rebuild with a dodgy one in there

thanks for all the replys guys. i have cleaned the ICV. I have a blitz dump valve (i know i know) i have cleaned that and sprayed with lubricant. I have cleaned the MAF sensor with break cleaner. Problem has stopped for the time being. As long as i can get till payday then order a new MAF to be on the safe side

So clean ICV and if that doesnt help change MAF?
I have slight idle rev variations and little hasitation around 2-2,5k but all works splendid over 3k.
I drive V6 euro classic.
Thanks for the help
