Default is my D/V knackered?

Notice the other day that my dump valve has only started to work half the time
When i give it some and then let off the gas, sometimes it will dump pully.. other times it will dump a little and chatter and sometimes will will just chatter... ie no ptish at all propper confused! is the D/V fecked.. i have noticed my idle has gone a bit low however i cant find any splits in the hoes themselves and the clips are done up nice and tight!
Also the vacum feed off the dumpvalve seems fine and isnt blocked in anyway..
Any ideas! pls
Phil

Phil, have you checked the rubber cap inside? (depending on what d/v it is) It's only got to have a slight hole in it & it wont work propperly mate.

I would have suggested checking all the clips, hoses etc but you've already done that
