idle - sounds like it either needs ignition timing sorted, idle control valve (forgot the proper name for it on an MFI erst)...air leak...does it start ok?
missing on boost - plug changed/gapped, Ign Timing, Fueling checked...could be other things...
your pissing into the wind really, you could spend £60 guessing and still not get it right....
On start up it can be a bit of a pig where on the mfi is the idle control valve.
I will get it on the rollers soon as i get a mot on it. What is the chance of melting a piston iv never realy driven it much as it's still in the project stage. Iv flatened it through first and second a few time but not for periods of time just trying to pick out faults. I could understand if i was flat out everwere but im not but like you say if the fueling and all that is out could it fry it that qwick? (i hope not)
thanks for your help
