AdeMk1 Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Faulty idle control valve. You might get away with removing it & giving it a clean with carb/brake cleaner. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goodkat Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Split air pipe? I had this happen on pretty much every BMW I owned, and apparently it was happening on my Focus before I bought it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
