Water on the engine would only show leaks that are under pressure -
I though that this is an NA therefore all the inlet manifolding is
below ambient pressure
It will suck the water in through the gaps, you hear the engine note
change and sometimes will hear a gurgling noise.

Presumably the air inlet temperature sensor was fitted? this would
only make a small difference to the mixture but is unlikely to cause
the idle problem if voltages are correct.

OK, here it goes:
Air Temperature Sesnor/CAM Sensor - We removed the ATS from the
plastic
inlet, as it had a different connector to the one on the alloy
inlet, but
had the same thread. I believe this means we have the connectors on
the
correct way round. The CAM Sensor uses the same style connector as
the
injectors, but is keyed differently, where the ATS is a different
style.
The hose pipe was used (and Carole didn't even get wet!) to test the
engine
for air leaks and none were found. The whole area around the inlet
was
given a good soaking, but the engine still idled too high.
