The light thats shapped like a gearstick?

Are you revving it to the limiter when not driving?

Guessing not, but you've probably broke it fro revving the nuts of it lol?
 
im not an expert - but would the revs be higher on tick over if your battery was low on juice? and trying to recharge itself??

or does it only do that whilst moving..

Hmm.... mine has an high tick over. Would be good to know what is causing it. It's a bit like the choke is stuck on or something. But it will be fine after 10 minutes or so driving.

Would be good to know what it is.

Throttle body cleaned today . . still ticking over at over 2000 rpm. Hmmm . . . .

Does it tick over normally once hot ?

Mine does this when you turn it over from cold, it holds the revs at 1.5k ish but 2 mins later they die down to idle normally.

It calms down yeah. It's longer than two minutes though . . . I'd say about 20 minutes of driving then it goes back to normal.

Well maybe I was a little hasty on my assesment after cleaning the throttle body but after a few days of driving it has now settled down to what I would consider normal.

Result.
 
Bumping an old thread here, but mine is doing a similar thing.

Is it likely to be this same issue when it gets wet or might it be the battery? I was washing it tonight and dropped a bucket of fooking water all over the shop. Fool!

Mines is doing this too after I just bump started it, cos my starter motor went.. my throttle body is caked when i checked to see if it was jammed, so think I will clean this first....then hope when fitting new starter it will just goes away :D
