Default Low idle

Have only noticed this recently when manouvering at low speed e.g in to a parking space. When coming off throttle the revs are dipping below 1000rpm causing a slight judder, it recovers than idles around 1100rpm is this too low?

Would I be right thinking either the MAP or ICV might be the problem?

Mine sometimes does this as well, when coming off the clutch it dips below 1k and judders a tiny bit sometimes when manouvering to park.

Nope its perfectly normal. If you do an ECU reset and then the idle learn process(see FAQ) it does make things better for a while until there is a substantial change in ambient temperature.

Normal, especially when cold. After a ECU rset it will be worse until it learns.

ECU learning takes 10 mins.

ECU reset can just mask the problem for a very short time, not usually solving the problem.
