Hi, I read about the fast idle problem, but mine is slightly different. It'll fast idle for a while then start revving, as in 2500 down to 1000 then back up in quick succession - like it's trying to settle down but not quite managing it.
it does stop eventually, but has been known to kick in again - oftentimes at traffic lights etc.
any suggestions?
hmm...secondary may not be working right...you may not be getting fuel to the carb either...if the car has high milage it may be the cam is worn
how do I check for those things - car not too high mileage 110k's the previous one was 170k's and no sign of anything like this.
I don't have a manual so plain english is appreciated, car is efi.
bottom line, can I live with it for a bit? or what damage can occur?
Eureka !! the problem with the idle was the HT leads! bought some new ones as part of a good proper service, and hey presto no more erratic idle.
