check the obvious things like there are no vacuum leaks on the inlet manifold,check to see if your car has the modified throttle housing fitted as there was a problem with them,check throttle cable/linkage is`nt sticking and check your stepper motor setting,if you switch ignition on and press the throttle pedal to floor 5 times and release then switch ignition off then this will reset the throttle postion sensor
