still cant solve my idle problem :-(

[Tiger]

ive tried everything to solve this idle problem ive got, its been doing it for a good couple of years, ive tried changing the lambda, ICV, leads and plugs and most recently the MAP sensor, none of this has fixed the problem. this only happens when the weather is wet and damp, when its sunny and dry its absolutely fine

anyone any idea what it could be and what to try next? the car is going up for sale in the next few weeks and id really like to get it fixed for selling.

quick explanation of what happens..

when wet weather, ill start it from cold and it will start chugging well below 1k revs almost cutting out but will then shoot up, keeps on doing this till you start going, when the car is going it will do the same thing which causes the car to hesitate badly then shoot off when it jumps back up

any help appreciated, thanks

i have had this problem and covered up the plug to the crank shaft sensor with some electrical tape which seems to help hasnt compleately cured it but its better
