    grahame ive had this before:i removed idle valve with electric connector still connected then turn ignition on(watch valve come out),then disconect plug from valve,then turn ignition off,now reconnect plug & then turn ignition on again watching valve come out a bit more.now disconnect plug & turn ignition off again.now refit valve which should have some resistance against valve seat now,push in & tighten screws & reconnect electric plug,reset fault codes & start engine.hopefully will reset to correct settings within 2 mins,normally less.or the other option is just fit new idle valve.but i normally find they just loose position & work fine again after being rest to seat position.
    hope this works for you
