when you put your foot down in an auto the gearbox kicks down one or 2 gears depending on how hard you put your foot down

The second cable from your throttle body goes to the auto gearbox. It's what makes the box kick down.
When the accelerator pedal is fully down, it means the throttle is pulled wide open and that pulls on the kick down cable, which pulls the auto box into 'kick down'.

It has nothing to do with what you were doing with your throttle body, it's just the explanation of what the second cable is for, since you don't have cruise control...

Lets see if still yo-yo rev :think: :bat: :bat:
2 weeks i need to monitor it (as that was within the time the yo-yo came back after TWICE fixed supposedly)...

...if yo-yo comes back could it be the Idle Stabilisation Valve then?
