Can anyone help had this problem for months now?

The problem is that the car struggles to start, but when it does it hunts like hell. When it gets warm it cuts out when i take my foot off the gas.
Had the car on a co machine and the HC is through the roof on idle, but returns a good figure when up the revs.

Have put on a new throttle body and crank sensor would this make any difference.

HELP PLEASE !!!!!!

Take out the idle valve controller and give it a good clean. Search the FAQ section for a how to.
