have just put a vn injected 5.0l into vl calais, have replaced every sensor and looked everywhere for a problem but, whenever im driving along and go to stop, i push the clutch in and the engine stays revering high until i have stoped, ive heard that it could be a vacume leak but i cant find one.

as above. That is most likely the problem as the auto will try to idle up a bit to compensate for engine load, which you don't have as you're running a manual. Another issue could be do you have a correct speed signal to the computer?

Another issue could be do you have a correct speed signal to the computer? that could be the problem but it only revs high when you push the clutch in when your about to stop, and it gets worse when the engine gets hotter any ideas ???
