It still feels a tiny bit weird at the top of the throttle. Now some questions;
1. Icv; does it control air when in gear and off the throttle? Does it function at all when not at idle with no throttle? If so then I can only assume mine started playing up and is still not perfect which is slight affecting things...
2. Is there any way ambient temperature could affect things?
3. What are the symptoms of a Dicky coolant temperature sensor?
1. ICV is closed all the time apart from on idle - why do you think ICV faults are characterised by stalling when coming down through the RPMs to idle - because the valve sticks and can't open fast enough.
2. No - the ECU should compensate. Even if it was totally off, it wouldn't make a massive difference, and the Lambda at part throttle would compensate anyhu.
3. There's 3 CTSs... One for fan system, one for ECU and one for gauges... The one for ECU, yes, but it'd run rich and in closed loop all the time... Check the coolant temperature readout in PP2000 next time it's on.
