The last couple of days I have started the car and the idel would start off in the right place but slowy work its way up to 2K rpm

 

after I have been moving for a minet or two its sorts it self out.

Take it off, fill it with brake cleaner/petrol......leave it for a while.......i left my old one overnight .....empty it out.......pop a wee screwdriver in the end to make sure the springy bit moves......possibly oil(i didn't).....and put it back together :D

I've read carb cleaner works to is that right????

[Wullie 1]

I'll probably break something taking it off. Up until now I've just taken the hose off the front and sprayed cleaner into it.

yup :salute:

Carb cleaner is perfect. Leave to soak and then put your thumbs over the holes and give it a good shake. Let the carb cleaner drain out and then give it another load of carb cleaner to get any dirt remnants out. As easypops said, make sure the flap opens smoothly.

 

Give it a quick spray with some PTFE lube such as 3 in 1.

 

Prob worth cleaning up the electrical plug with some contact cleaner/emery board.

Check all the breather/vac hoses for fitment/splits etc. Look underneath them etc- be thorough! If you've been mucking around with the airbox, you could easily have knocked a vac hose loose. Had a very strange idle on my first 16v- turned out one of the hoses to the ISV had a tiny split underneath.
