Default Kangarooing Escort MK4 EFI CVH

Morning all.
I have the above problem at low revs, kangaroo's a bit at slow speeds, sometimes need to dip clutch to stop it.
Fine everywhere else in rev range.
Will try changing sensors but could it be Throttle position sensor at fault?
Thanks

TPS is prone to wear, also might be worth trying another speed sensor.

Mine does not have the idle control valve on the top of the air box lid.
Is the speed sensor the round box of tricks on the speedo cable where it fits into the gearbox?
Also any ideas where to get said throttle position sensor-just tried Fords-only have one on computer for 1993 onwards at Ł75

No idea where it is then, I have TPS, MAP, ACT, ECT, COPOT and EEC IV, Haynes manual only shows ISCV on top of the airbox!
Any other options apart from Fords for obtaining replacement sensors?
Thanks for all of your help mate.

Now found the ISCV, cylinder mounted onto the side of the EFI inlet, not sure that it can be taken apart and cleaned though.
Let me know on the TPS Safe Chav.
Anyone got EFI Speed sensor/speedo cable?
Thanks again all
P.S. Do any Passionford members meet in Bristol/Glos Area?
