Right, i left my interior light on all night and most of the day by mistake, went to start the car earlier and head a dead battery. Anyway bump start it and it started but now it idles at 2000 rpm and rises gradually. Its never had bad idle issues in the years iv had it. Any ideas? Its a saxo vtr 2001
Thanks

Could be that idle control valve needs to reset as bat was dead take it for a good run and should find it settles down

needs reseting.

Low battery = low power to ecu = it don't have a clue what to do.
