clean out the throttle body and reset the basic settings

And check for unmetered air

Yes the crankcase ventilation hoses are prone to splitting underneath.

Is cleaning the throttle body a hard job and can you do it without disconnecting the plug which is attached to it?

[Crasher]

It is easy when it is off, very difficult I imagine when still plugged in and to do the job properly it needs resetting anyway.
