Revs Stay Up Until You Come To A Complete Stop

[jim4]

I have a 2.3 petrol mark 1 Gal 1999 year. I've not driven it much over the Xmas break. Back behind the wheel this week it strikes me that it seems to remain at higher than I'd expect revs as you pull up to a junction. Say around 1500 rpm rather than normal tickover of about 900 rpm. When you actually stop it does drop down quickly to 900rpm but there is a delay when the clutch is in before the revs drop. Do they all do this? Thanks. Jim

I'm going to ask my friendly local garage to have a look when it goes in for a service in a month or so.

I used to hook my foot under the accelerator and pull it up. It worked but I shouldn't have had to do it

ISV sticking?

ISV = Idle stability valve (air bypass valve)

[oakey dokey]

and where do i get one of these from and how do you fit?????

I am not saying this is your problem for 100%

 

Problems with an excessive idle speed (as much as 3500RPM) or a fluctuating or hunting idle speed may be due a sticking Idle Stability Valve (known to ford dealers as an Air Bypass Valve). Removing, cleaning and refitting takes about 15 minutes easy work, so it

No problem, hope this solves it.

Don't forget to let us know. It may help someone else one day.

My galaxy 2.0 does the exact same thing, but its not the ISV as i had a new one fitted due to it idling too low, so it must be something else.

Next cheapest option is the throttle body.
