Help Please - Idle trouble
« on: 28 June 2007, 16:40:09 »

hiya people.
my engine seems to have a mind of its own at the moment.
at start-up the revs settle at 500-550rmp, but then they rise to 1200-2000rmp. after a while it will keep changing up and down the rev renge from 400rpm - 2000rpm.(sounds like its going to stall at 400rpm)
I've changed the ICV and the breathers but this hasn't made any difference.
is the another valve or Idle control on the engine?
3.0 MV6 2000 'w' reg Manual.

Thanks
