I've searched a few and nothing seems like my problem so thought i'd ask u guys and gals some advice,
a few weeks ago my car started idling about 2000rpm after using engine braking so i stopped doing it and cleaned the idle control and then it seemed fine,
but over the past few days my car doesnt idle at all now but its only intermitent one for example on way to work this morning it wouldnt idle,
but on way home it was fine any ideas? i'm puzzled

idle control valve, throttle position sensor would be worth investigating and cleaning

Try clicks

Unplug the icv then turn you ignition on the turn it off then plug your icv back in........

Then get it and turn the ignition on and off 5 -6 time but dont start it make sure you remove the key each time once done start it up resets the icv position.

If this doesn't fix it, i have a brand new one you can have off me. Only fitted and used about 5 times maximum before i started to strip the engine out lol!
