Might be a silly question but your intercooler comment got me thinking. You know vac lines are different to intercooler pipes ae?

Sorry! Yeah I guess that wasn't the best way of putting it, I checked the vac lines I just meant that I checked the intake pipes and everything as well

+1 revs climbing that high on start up and idling that high suggest a leak post throttle body.

But we are all just taking pot shots in the dark without being able to look at the car or pull codes from it.

Spray some carby cleaner arond the intake manifold area if you can, particulary where the throttle body mates to the manifold, and where the top and bottom manifolds mate together. if the revs rise when you spray it around a certain area its got a vac leak.

Thanks everyone it's greatly appreciated, general consensus everywhere I have looked points to a vacuum leak somewhere, going to have to look at this again in the clear light of day, if I can just get it drivable I'll be able to go see what codes it's throwing.

you won't need it driveable to pull codes. I will have already logged code. Im tipping throttle and pedal position errors.

Yeah problem is I need something to read the codes with though don't I? and I wouldn't mind guessing the only place with the equipment in my town is the Ford dealership :( not a lot of places to go here in a country town
