    IDLE S ERRATICALLY

    HI All

    as you may have read on my other topic about me having trouble getting the car started. had it running a bit now but the revs keep going up and down from just under 1000 rpm to over 15000 rpm. any ideas what this can be ??? it does it when its cold and hot ???

    cheers

    Take the ISCV off and give it a good clean with carb cleaner anyway.
