I have just bought my firts cab for the wife but it feels really under powered when its floored, it feels like it holding back. also it doesnt idle to well nearly stalls everytime you come off the gass. I have taken off the idle controll valve and cleaned it up but its still the same, any ideas please

Could be a hole in a breather pipe. Had that problem with a '96 1.6 cabby and it was the crank breather pipe - little rubber pipe top/back of engine bay, cost about a tenner. There's a couple of them close together.

problem now sorted, found the earthing strap that bolts onto the gear box had come of thus no earth to the idle controll valve so it wasnt working.
