Help iam having probs with my 1.8 li (single point injection). I have just repalced the clutch but upon starting the car up the idle postion switch just moves straight out (and the revs straight up,which it was not doing previously) when i wind it back in and discounect the throttle valve position switch it does not move and hence does not throttle up .i have tried swaping the unit over with one from the scrappy but to no avail.any help or suggestions would be appriciated as this is a lovely car and i am at my whits end....cheers

Sounds like you have missed something,
I would make sure all earth straps have been bolted back to the engine and the body of the car, check for any vacum pipes which you may have pulled off, and check that all wiring is connect to the correct sockets and that the pins in the plugs are clean and make a good connection.

Make sure you go over everything again, cos when you find it you gonna say "dam how could i have missed that". :57:
