what's "on tick over" mean, and by hunting, you mean the idle?

usually a hunting idle means a bad ICV, so take it off and clean it with brake cleaner and see if that helps.

+1 on the icv ............clean it and then connect 12 volts to it while it's out of the car to see if the little door inside opens and closes.
good luck
