Lars Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 It may also be a vacuum leak. I had a similar problem on my MKII mondeo. It was revving high when braking while engine warm. Then it would go down to normal level and sometimes stall completely, so i had to restart the engine. Problem was related to a vacuum leak. Had my car in for the APK(Dutch version of MOT) and they also replaced the vacuum hose as it was leaking. After this the idling issue was gone.
