    FIXED AT LAST.
    This as now been okay for a week, so assume its ok. I road tested the carwhile the revs were sticking on and forced the engine to slow by braking while in gear by doing this it seemed to learn to adapt to idle but would now tick over as if rich checking lambda through live data it showed faulty drove back to workshop sensor not switching fitted s/h sensor and this worked ok.but revs still high.I removed HT leads coil and crank sensor refitted old ones,refitted my s/h ecu,found another earth in o/s/r behind panel in boot and cleaned.tightend all conections to ecu just as a precaution as its been off so many times. started engine, checked live data only fault now showing was crank sensor I ignored this as engine was idling okay, i did'nt reset any adaptions just road tested and it was okay left for a while, restarted and now left well alone.Conclusions lambda sensor and ecu.
    Well the cutomers happy. Me p-----d off only got half my small fee should get other half this friday.
    But i hope my perseverance on this may be of help to you guys. Thanks john.
