2-3k idle

Need some thougts and advice.

Today my mate changed my lambda sensor for me and also quickly cleaned the throttle body out.

since the car idles nearly 3k. drives fine, on the clutch biting point its ok too. just as soon as you let it idle it shoots up.

which is it most likely, throttle body or lambda? its on a phase 1 btw.

cheers Paul

it was only a proper quick clean with some carb cleaner, we didnt take it right off.

iirc carb cleaner can cause this for a while. maybe take it for a good drive then see? otherwise I would be looking for either over fueling or and air leak

I'm hoping just needs driving through if not and its throttlesil have take it off and clean fully

I'm assuming its more likely the throttle than new lambda?

Has it settled yet? If not, sounds like an inlet leak so check the TB seal
