HI mate, thanks for the info. a ICV (idle control valve) will cost me 200$ AUS dollars, the egr valve is even more expensive here. I think when the beast goes in for her's next service i will replace the ICV and EGR and i might as well do the intake mainifold gasket as well.

Did you check the OBD2 code reader read out? If not do so, first. Your problem sounds a lot like a code 171. If so, carefully replace the common chamber gaskets. I reco the OEM top, and Fel-Pro brand bottom, about 60 bucks total.
Thanks blacksambo i will check out what we can get over here in Oz that is the eqivalent.
