Random Fast Idle

Recommended Posts

My 16v 2.0 has randomly started idling at about 2000rpm. Its fine when I start it but after driving for a few seconds the idle seems to stick.

 

Any ideas?

After fitting a 50mm intake to my valver it started doing weird/intermittent idle hunting (not sticking) but only seemed to be when it got warm.

 

Turned out to be the elbow on top of the metering head - no obvious damage or splits, but when pressed against it stopped the hunting.

 

Check for vacuum leaks as it will cause idle issues. Also clean the ISV while your at it.
