Does anyone else have this problem where when your idling the car it will move from like 800 to 850 constantly?

Its a saxo VTR btw

could be a fault with the idle speed control valve.

*could* be a few things, check my other posts on TOADS thread with his idle problem, its 5-6 pages and should find some useful info in there.

my car randonly didnt have a idle the other day, started the car up as normal and it jus dropped dead, had to keep the revs up with right foot and left foot brake :S

it kept doing it, then thought it mus be sumthin to do with idle vale or ecu so i hit the limiter once and its worked fine since!

lol my vtr does this sometimes aswell, get it bouncing off the limiter for a few seconds, always solves it for me.

either the idle controll valve or the air pressure sensor
mines got the same problem
get it checked on a diagnostic
