Default Anti Lag!! Help!!

Normally when i switch the anti lag on when car is stationary the revs will drop like its going to stall!! then rev it and it spit and farts like it should.

But at the moment when i switch it on the revs just keep climbing so i have to switch it off, have spoke to Ahmed and he says its in the map on the chip, but could also be a sticking valve?? Any ideas as to where this valve is any one?? as i have no idea how anti lag works.

Many Thanks
Andy

As said valve is on the throttle housing, should have been modified as well.
I would not worry too much as it will soon go bang anyway, kills things quite well do AL.

I love the noise just pointless for the road and engine life.
My friend Roosie has it, he is the first to admit he would not have it again now he has seen what it is like, as well as being illegal of course, but then so are loads of other things!!
Hey if you want anti lag that's up to you, none of my business.
The iscv valve is on the throttle housing, looks like a small cylinder with a plug on the end, the uppermost end is normallly grey plastic, it is the only thing on the throttle housing with a wire that looks like this, the only other thing on the housing is the TPS, which are RED, whereas ISCV is metal with a plastic end, with a plug on that end.
