Ok so ive had my car for just over a day now and im afraid to say i love it haha

there is a problem with the idler, or at least something along those lines. wen the engine is under load and eased off the engine will drop to around 400/500 revs then seems to bounce between 1000 and 600 for a second or so and then levels off at the normal 800, i know of a few things i can try like replacing idle valve, cleaning carb (dunno how this can help but been suggested by a work colleague) and just wanted to kno any other suggestions or if any1 else has had similar problems and how they fixed it

it doesn't have an idle valve as such, it uses a stepper motor inside the throttle body to regulate the idle speed... nomally when it bounces up and down in speed in the way you mention it's caused by the idle switch contacts being a bit sticky, sadly there's not much you can do about it other than replacing the entire throttle housing but it is worth giving it a good clean out though..

Cheers for reply ill try it out this weekend
