Well i gave ebay a chance, scv seems to be working ok but i changed one at a time to see if it improved it, same issue after fitting scv, then tried the fpr and drove 4 miles and on the return it sounded like i wasnt gonna get home from tesco, the cog lite up along with traction control which i couldnt turn off, made it home and put old one back on. Running really nice except for the low revs. i did notice when reaching down to the scv socket and playing and wriggling with the wiring i got a mild shock. so i have a feeling this is where the problem is, teach me to pay more attention to the condition of the wiring down there. £40 for scv which by the standards on here is cheap and nasty, but surely they must work as they have sold so many, maybe not the same longivity. but i'll take it all apart again tomorrow and see if i can find the culprit, before this all started i had put a new head on it, gaskets, oil cooler, filters and an injector and was running sweet and a couple weeks later i noticed an intermitant fault which at the time seemed it was an injector on its way out, but a few days ago i got the clanking from one or 2 of the injectors, i put forscan on it and it said inbalance of cylinder 3 and 4 and fuel metering stuck open. but after changing there is a constant open circuit on the svc.
