I have mentioned this before but the symptom are becoming a bit clearer now.
The car still seems to be idling too high at junctions, as if it is running from cold start all the time, I only do short journeys but even after 5 miles the idle seems to be around 1300rpm (there is no rev counter so I am just going by ear).
I revved it at idle and when the I released the throttle it idles higher than it did before it I revved it. This afternoon the engine cut out on me, now it might have just been me, but my foot was on the clutch at the time so I can't see how it could have been.
Could this be a fault with the throttle position sensor? The cable from what I can tell seems to operate an actuator which then has a variable resistor which then tells the value how much to open and close. Is this right?
In normal driving conditions the engine is perfectly smooth.
No ECU light has come on and it is a 2010 Panda Active 1.1 Eco.
