    high idle problem

    over the years i heard this happen to many people .

    basicly when i rev the engine over 5k once , the idle wont drop below 2k .
    if i turn the engine off and on again ,all is fine back to around 1k rpm .

    the solution was always supposed to be poor earthing of the speedo cable at the dials end ,but i am pretty sure thats not the case with mine .


    anyone on here actually managed to solve this problem ?
