Idle issues

[parraeel]

Hoping someone here will have a solution,

Idling the car today whilst warming up, I revved it up to about 1800rpm but the idle stayed there even though I had taken my foot off the accelerator.

It only stayed at 1800rpm for a few seconds, but on it's way back down the engine spluttered but then ran smooth again.

Any ideas?

Thanks

could be a sticking throttle cable, so check that, else it will most likely be the throttle body. they are a hybrid electronic/manual unit that is not uncommon to fail in the manner you mention (along with a few other common faults)

Ive got no doubt if you run a scan on that it will have codes if the throttle body is playing up, unfortunately they are a but problematic. If you try to source one there is a couple of options depending on the transmission you have.

Good luck

Thanks for the replies.

I was thinking throttle position sensor, which is on the throttle body anyway, so I will use that as a starting point.

Id get the throttle body cleaned and then basic set. If fault persists replace it.
