hi tickover

[andy1green@fsmail.net]

whenever i come off the dual carriageway, or have just raced the engine, my revs sit at 1500-2000rpm, but as soon as i blip the ignition off and back on, its fine, any ideas, people???
i thought maybe dirty injectors, so ran redex through
maybe dirty filters/plugs?
also maybe a knackered fast idle sensor? clio`s are new to me as i have always had pugs

My cars engine seemed to tick over a tad jumpy this morning and has done most mornings since i bought it 2 months ago, that is, until i rev it a little. Then it seems to settle down and tick over proper. Could this be my idle control valve as well? What exactly is it I am looking for?

 

[andy1green@fsmail.net]

possibly, could also be your auto choke, or dirty injection system, ?

Are these things I have to take the car into a garage for or could I possibly have a look at these myself?...bearing in mind im not a mechanic or mechanically minded.

buy a haynes manual for ya motor, tis an invaluable bit of reading, has taught me most of what i know, and is easy to understand-should be about 18-20 quid from halfords, will certainly offer up some more ideas as to what the problems could be

Is their one specific to the MKII Clio 172? I can only find (on amazon/eBay etc) ones for the Clio which all say "does not cover 172, 182 or V6".

ah, didnt think about that, um, there must be one somewhere, but havin said that cos those are the tweaked versions, you may have to contact renault???? sorry dude, am a bit stumped
