Hi, the car is back on the road now (pics coming soon). It idles at around 900rpm as normal but sometimes it will rev on its own from 700-1500rpm and when you are driving sometimes when you slow right down for a junction the engine will cut off, any ideas??

Dodgy speedo sensor, clean ISCV, check for air/vacuum leak. Check gearbox earth.

I always check that the ground cables are clean and tightly secured whenever the car feels like it's haunted. :)
