Hi - me again!
Check the air flow regulator. On the 2.0 dohc it was located just behind the grill area - on the air intake pipe.
Mine was loose and leaking slightly, the effect was to have the revs hunting up and down. Took the unit off (it's not servicable), put some gasket goo on the faces, replaced the unit and the prob was solved. Worth a try.
