any ideas on what to check and where ?
Try to do the following (in either case it would be good for your VX):
- buy carb cleaner spray
- remove intake air hose from throttle valve side
- spray a lot with carb cleaner untill throttle valve will cleanup from carbon and will look like a "brand new", you might want to move valve with throttle lever to clean it better, especially close to the axis.
- unscrew idle control valve, remove rubber gasket (it is reusable, so keep it) from it and spray a lot on the valve (do not spray close to the painted parts, it might be damaged by the spray) then clean up it with cloth.
- spray a lot into the hole where idle control valve is installed
- assemble everything back and start engine (do not worry if RPMs at idle will raise up to 3000 for the short period: it is because of carb cleaner burning in the engine)

Hope it will help.
