Loot...I wonder if your SCV is a bit off, I've pulled my original one apart not long ago and found a few small "score" marks in the bore and on the piston itself...The piston should fall in and out under it's own weight, mine didn't...I gave them a good clean with alcohol and then a wee polish with some very fine "5000" grade polishing paper and she came good...Might pay to have a look at yours and do the same thing...I'd do the learns again after though, you'll have changed it's characteristics a wee bit.
There's a small circlip holding the piston/valve in, and a spring behind the the valve. Check the metering edges of the valve and the outer metering ports for nicks or damage etc, you may need a magnifying glass to do so though...I'm thinking any amount of "hangup" here will cause hunting issues.
