Ok, lets shed some REAL light onto this... It's an issue which has been around for a week or so and genuinely puzzles me, never known anything like this.
Some symptoms;
- High idle, gradually increases over 30minutes or so after being on long drives and warming up
- Idle reduces back down after the engine/car cools down
Since the above, i noticed the previous owner of the pump had removed all idle control (ie hot/cold idle screws) so i added an idle screw, and turned the throttle arm down to it's lowest position (so the idle is controlled via the lever arm, rather than the throttle arm)
This then helped for a short time and thought we had seen the end of the high idle until today. Not entirely sure what the RAC man has done except turn the fuel down? But now is significantly down on power and is generally dangerous as it's difficult to merge traffic and roads.
I don't think, actually, almost certain the engine isn't "running away" otherwise it would be a regular occurance and wouldn't persist a gradual idle, moreover, an instant increase and eratic "offyourhead" idle..
Any other ideas as to what it could be
