Idle increase when in traffic
#1
As per title when I leave the car idling and the temperature starts to go above 80 the idle increases. I've disconnected the cold start cable and set up the idle screws so both on by a thread yet still the idle increases Sad what could it be?

Thanks
Joe

Mine does exactly the same, it's the throttle cable expanding it seems, put your foot under the pedal and yank back and see if it drops... Mine does exactly this, must be the cable getting tighter, if you put the cable holder back a notch, it stops...
