Spray sparingly near wher you suspect and see if revs change, have a fire extinguisher handy just in case

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Just recently my car's started ticking over bad, i.e. hovering around 600rpm and fluctuating. Also, when stopping and depressing the clutch revs drop really low, car nearly stalls and then gets a blip up to about 1500rpm then drops to being erratic and low again.
Points observed:
Car is eGas so no ICV.
Throttle body and MAF have been cleaned - no effect.
Car only does it after fully up to temperature (say after about 15 - 20 minutes driving).
Runs perfectly normal (around 800-900rpm) at tickover before fully warmed up.
Seems to be deteriorating as time is going on.
Any help appreciated.
Had a quick check for air leaks and not found anything (although not convinced there isn't any) and not plugged in for codes either.
Will do if I can't find something myself.
I was wondering if I've not got the plenum back on right when I did my started motor last month. Might take it off and redo it.
Edit: I'm starting to think either airleak or AOS on it's way out.
Yeah but that's only if it's proper goosed isn't it? :dont know:
There's a vac on the oil filler but not so you can't easily take the cap off.
I know

mentioned on another post about testing it but didn't say how.
I'd gamble on an air leak too. Pull the codes - might be "enrichment limit reached". As said spray some easy start around all the joints.
Check the AOS rubber bellows where it connects to the block. Can be hard to tell what vacuum is correct from the filler cap.
You can do this just by removing the passenger side rear wheel. feel around for a split. You can just about replace it too, but I had to use jubilee clips rather than the original spring clips.
Mine was split.

Great stuff - leave it with me. I also think my coil packs are on their last legs as there's a few other tell tale signs they're on their way out
Can't check anything at the moment as I've just took my car in for a front bumper respray.
Hopefully nothing major Alex...surprised you don't have a code reader...they are an absolute god send. Even if they aren't always accurate, they give major clue's as to which area the problem might be in.
That said, my 20 quid one i bought way before the porker told me that my coil pack/plug on number 6 was duff...saved much faffage!

Lambda O2 sensor would be my guess :dont know: Normally when cold there are no signs but once engine starts to get up to temperature it will kangaroo/judder/fart/oldmans knackers on a vibrating exercise plate etc :what:
