If it doesn't fit,
force it,
If it breaks,
It needed replacing anyway :thumbs:

mate just an idea, just check that your not getting a slight air leak into your throttle body or near where the air feeds into the engine. ive heard a vacum can be created by the smallest hole, causing running issues. a sudden jolt to the engine could have missalined something. ive been searching other forums for similar issues for you, the nearest ive found is either the exhaust sensor or the icv.

edit... make sure all the plugs that go into the sensors are actually plugged in properly, sounds daft but you never know!

I've checked everything I can and its all plugged in ok, I've got a coolant leak from the radiator that's about all I know of, and the diagnostic is saying egr valve, at my ends wits with it to e honest pal. It did have a misfire when I first had it but it just vanished had a suspicion of an air leak somewhere..... Car been running like a dream until the speed bump incident and since then its running terrible... I can't find an air leak anywhere.

Just decided today to have a little inspection of the throttle body and induction, it had been bodged on with black insulation tape and duck tape, so took it all off to find a blue hose that was split, so a bit of sealant and some insulation tape got it back on and clamped down.

Found a plug unplugged, the one on the bottom (green one) anyone know what it's for?

Plugged it back In and the revs seems ok be ok now... At the moment...

Bottom plug unplugged on the inlet plugged it back in touch wood it's sorted the running issues, also redid the induction pipe until i get a new one, she's done 15 miles or so today any not preformed once, held her revs fine and idled fine all day.
