Default Focus 1.8lx rev's going crazy!

I have a focus 1.8lx on a w reg, the engine is really tempramental when idling , its either just about conking out altogether ( never does although really close ) this is when engine is warm . When newly started the revs are sky high, 3000rpm when clutch dipped worst when waiting at a junction. Anyone had this?

Comon on a lot of engines. Clean out the Idle Speed Control Vavle as they get clogged up with soot.

Thanks for your reply mate,
No the engine is totally standard with no mods at all.
