Idle/MAF issue

After months off the road I've finally got round to changing a duff injector to get old girl back.

 

Now I'm struggling to sort the very low idle.

 

Disconnecting the plug on the Idle control valve makes no difference, so I'm thinking there may be a boost leak or a knackered IACV. I tried pulling the plug on the MAF but as soon as I do the engine cuts out. I thought that with the MAF disconnected the idle speed should pick up not cut out completely?

 

Have I got this wrong, which wouldn't surprise me.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi, if you type in " how to adjust the idle speed" in the search box top right medallion man explains it very well.

    Hope it helps.?

    Thanks for the reply. I did look at that info but it doesn't really help.

     

    I can't adjust the base idle, pulling the connector has no effect. It was the cutting out when I disconnect the MAF that may be the issue. I can't find any info on that using search.

     

    Cheers
