issues 16v

[jamesy16v]

right i think my temp sensor is fcuked!when at idle it starts a 900 rpm then dips all the way down to a stall then picks back up again,it doesnt do this all the time tho, i have also noticed that it has been popping a lot more,is this due to the temp sensor giving the wrong reading and using more fuel?any ideas?
or is it the idle control valve?
its on a 16v by the way.
also my fuel pump connector that sits on top of the tank keeps coming loose,sometimes i have to hold it on to make the pins contact inside so that the engine will start,anyone else had this problem?

clean iscv and replace ctp, usually prob solved

Sounds like the ICV, take it off, give it a good spray with carb cleaner and pop it back on, cured it when I had my 16V.
