Hi Gav, my gsi did this so i changed the ICV, this stopped the hunting but made it tick over very slow.
I investigated further and found my bottom pully had elongated the location hole thus putting the timing out . I replaced the pully and the bottom sprocket, the engine now runs sweet, hope this helps.

new afm and throttle was cleaned when serviced.
daine thats sounds interesting did your car seem to surge to when letting off,think i have a bottom pully and that but the timing out sounds bang on as the car does seem to miss and the power aint what it should be will look it to that
