Right here we go first of all when you start the car from cold the engine idle sits at 1100 revs and you can drive for anything from 10 - 100 miles and that will not drop but if you drive the car until it's warm and say stop to put fuel in so maybe your not running the car for about 5 mins the idle will drop to about 900 revs when warm so for i have changed the

idle control valve
tps
and throttle body

and the car is still doing the same dam thing it's just not dropping idle revs when it gets warm while you are driving and now i'm a little stuck as where to look next.

any help on this please :)

hi folks

anybody help with this please

does the car seem to have problems warming up?

Hi there

No seems to warm up fine just idle will not drop when running from cold unless you turn engine of when warm then drops to 900 from 1100

so have a small update on this problem have noticed that if i turn engine of when warm after a few seconds i will here a click sound from the front right of the car then i'll start the car and 900 revs at idle which is the correct revs when warm i THINK.

Has anybody got any ideas on this please.

Hmm could be idle control valve buy I can't remember if you have that or the maf sensor...

yeah had brand new gen control valve so can defy rule that one out but don't think it's the maf also charged tps and throttle body i'm starting to think could it be a connecter somewhere?

More likely a sensor, did you change the pedal sensor?

More likely a sensor, did you change the pedal sensor?

what sensor is this one or am i being dumb

Potentiometer or the accelerator sensor

Aha ok I'll try and pick on of these up and give it ago is this the one that's connect to the pedal.

Could it have been just this making the problem?

What you need to do is put an adjustable poteniometer (cost $1.23) on the TPS circuit and trim it down until till it stalls then back till it idles slowly.

For the power steering get the pump pressure checked first sometimes it can be as simple as a bit of !Removed! under the relief valve on the pump.
