when car is ticking over at 1000 revs after about 15 seconds it will drop to 500 and surge up and down inbetween 500 to 1000 with around 15 second delays with each also slight juddering when driving and lack of power. i have replaced the throttle sensor anyone got any solutions to my problem many thanks to all
 
Hmmm may be the automatic choke!!!..

try diconnecting your battery for 10 mins,....but make sure you have the code for the radio or youl loose it!

what this does is reset the CPU computer that manages your cars stuff!!!
 
2 things to look for.
1,check for any splits in the small vacuum pipes on or near the inlet manifold.
2,[may be costly] some autos have computer controlled tick over.[not manually adjustable] the ''throttle Control valve'' may be at fault.
