Technical High ldle

[Torridon1]

Hi,
My 1992 Panda CLX has a choke. Once the engine is up to temperature and the choke is pushed right in, the car idles faster than normal, like the choke isn't fully in (but it actually is). If I pull the accelerator pedal up with my toe, the revs reduce to what should be idle until I let go.
Does the choke control cable need adjusting or lubricating? The Haynes manual talks about adjusting the cable and the "trunnion pinch bolt". Is this the right place to start?
Any advice gratefully received
Thanks

Hi,


Please have a look on attached pdf in thread below.

especially page 5.


Being CLX from 92 might have the bosch stuff in.

Thanks for the reference to the post, and the ref guides. I have read through much of the material and I think my pandas symptoms are different.
The engine is not stalling or running inconsistently, it it consistently idling just a little faster than usual. It seems more like a linkage issue with the spring not fully returning or sticking?
