Default iscv fault??

hi
when my iscv is plugged in if i blip the throttle it will stick at around 3000rpm until i disconnect the iscv
ive set the base idle, fitted a sensor kit from mat lewis (cts, phase, crank, air sensors etc..)
ive tried cleaning the iscv and even swopped it for a different one but the fault remains
if i disconnect it the fault goes away but of course from cold runs lumpy for a minute or so then is fine
if i connect the iscv at idle the revs raise slightly then settle back down so the sensor must be doing something at least.
could antone shed any light on whats causing this??
cheers in advance

I disagree the fact when the ISCV is D/C the revs drop shows the ISCV is being TOLD to open by this much, you seem to have replaced almost every other sensor apart from one of the sensors which actually gives an input related to idle speed the TPS so check the calibration.

i had this problem years back and it turned out to be the tps (throttle position switch) which was at fault, it worked perfectly after the switch was adjusted to give the correct reading. HTH
