My car was Idling at about 1500 rpm and then when you give it some revs it would nearly cut out and go back up to 1500 rpm. I also had the problem where the car was revving itself sometimes.

I've had the problem for a while and had a go at cleaning the iscv today. I put it back on and the problem was still there.

So, i had a mess with the throttle position sensor. I turned the engine on at let it idle, slightly loosened the two screws that hold the sensor, then turned the sensor slightly and found that in a certain position the car idled fine. I tightened up the screws, took the car for a spin, and it now runs perfectly.

I don't know if anyone has posted this before, but i thought it may help a few people out with the dreaded clio idle. :D
