is it true that air temp sensor can sometimes cure high idle problems ,have renewed idle valve with no success ,the other is where is it ,is it on the pipes leading to the turbo and is it tubular with a brass element running through it? 89 turbo.

might be a bad lambda or a dodgey engine temp sensor. otherwise it might just well be the dreaded icv thats playing up.
