Evo 6 hunting

[gcas]

Got an evo 6 that has got a hunting noise on tick over, have taken it to a garage and was told it had an air leak ( no air leak) also told could be the throttle body sensor. Has anybody got any ideas? (If I get new throttle body sensor does it need setting back up for the fueling?)

Has the battery been disconnected recently?
May need an idle reset if it has. Or try cleaning the throttle body.
Replacing the sensors doesn't require a remap. But you will need it setup correctly.

Battery hasn't been off, took throttle body off and cleaned it.. Can't get the sensor off the throttle body because the bolt's going to snap. Made no difference to the hunting noise. Think I'm going to replace throttle body and sensor, will one from an evo 5 fit or does it have to be from a 6?

4-8 Will fit

How do you know its not an air leak?
