Mine has decided to only half close when i put revs on so using a hell of alot of fuel. I have tried cleaning it bit its still the same. Please pm me asap if you have got one because i'm only getting about 40 miles from quarter of a tank of petrol

Ermm it wouldn't cause excess fuel consumption I don't think. Do you have problems with very high revs? If so, sticking throttle cable / linkage is more likely. If not then your idle valve is fine.

High fuel consumption is probably VIS valves!!!
