VRS idling

[Camble]

Hi guys,

Not been on here for a while.

 

When I first bought my VRS a few years ago it was idling incorrectly incorrectly and would go back to normal if I lifted the accelerator pedal, so I had the sensor changed and it fixed it.

 

For about a year now it's been doing the same again but as I work from home and don't use the car too much I never had it sorted again. I am going to be selling the car soon as I have a new car ordered so sorting this out before any potential buyers come to view the car.

 

I found a few threads saying that some had taken their sensors out and cleaned which sorted it, so today I have taken the sensor out to clean but it is absolutely spotless, so gave it a clean anyway and put it back in. Since I've put it back in the idle is mega high (around 1500rpm), no matter whether I lift the pedal with my foot or restart the car it continues to idle at the same.

 

Is there a way to reset the idle at all? I've read a thread about resetting the ECU so I've disconnected my battery and will reconnect it in an hour.

 

 

Any ideas or comments?

 

 

Kind regards

Liam

Right it continued to idle high so I took the throttle pedal back off, took the sensor off and realised that it depends on where you put the screws back in so moved the plate and it idles normally now.

 

Fingers crossed it's sorted.
