Hi
Im a little baffled, since I have owned the car 33,000 miles ago now 119,000 miles the revs would often go up a little on tick over, this has progressively got worse recently so after a good carb cleaner through the system, oil to throttle cable I changed the petrol cap to a new genuine one, this has increased the problem a little more so I removed the Idle control valve and cleaned, this made it even worse so purchased a new one and now fitted, I now have the following issue.
It starts great and ticks over at around 1200 till warm then drops to 850 ish.
The problem then starts with a tick over of nearly 2000 but doesn't fluctuate.
If I turn the engine off for a while and restart I then have it running at 850 ish.
Im thinking coolant temperature sensor ??
anyone else had this problem please.
Thank you
Michael
