Idle issue.....

[seabass859]

So I was on my way home start stopping in traffic and noticed once I had stopped and knocked it out of gear the revs were fluctuating between 1500rpm and 2000rpm occasionally sticking at either number with my feet of the peddles. Any ideas as to what this could be??


My guess would be throttle position sensor or idle control valve....

Mine is doing that and i have been told its the idle control valve, not changed it as of yet so cant tell you if it sorted the problem or not.

What car is this on?

I have an '05 182 Cup and I have had this issue a few times, it's gone away and returned like a pest! So tonight I took the throttle body off, cleaned it all out and refitted, cleaned the air inlet sensor as that was dirty and refitted. Neither of these 2 made a difference initially, then I wiggled the plug on the throttle pedal and voila, it stopped sticking at around 2,000rpm and returned to normal idle!
So give that a try and then report back
