Guest rambo Posted October 4, 2006 Report Posted October 4, 2006 could be the idle control valve, you can take it off and try cleaning, flushing it out with carb cleaner or re-newing it, i have change one of these on a mk6 escort which had the same fault as yours, got it on e-bay for Quote
Steveenduro Posted October 5, 2006 Report Posted October 5, 2006 Is your temp gauge stable? If your coolant temp sensor is going U/S then revs can increase occasionally. Quote
Guest MATT jr Posted October 5, 2006 Report Posted October 5, 2006 our temp gauge is on the blink - and it does occasionally rev over 1000rpms when idle. MJR Quote
