Revving high at idling

[s_ward1]

When i was waiting at the traffic lights earlier...i noticed that rev counter picked up to around 30,000???? Is this a big problem? costly?

Any ideas?

ICV faulty/unplugged?

30,000 ?? what did u do drop it to first doing 150 ? lool , give the throttle body etc a good clean , make sure the throttles not sticking etc , if not id say sensors tbh

[s_ward1]

well it's 30 revs on the rev counter but obviously that's X by a 1000 init lol

What's an ICV?

Ok where abouts is the throttle body located?

Ok cheers, i've heard someone say clean the throttle body to prevent it revving by itself.....do you know where about the throttle body is located?

[matt19]

its where the air filter meets the engine , if u take the air filter off theres a 60mm ish hole , give all that a clean ( i got wynns fuel injection intake and carb cleaner from halfords and it did the job) , mine idle'd perfect after :) .

it should idle just under 1k when its running properly

it sounds like a tps throttle posion sensor the throttle bodie is found on the back of the engine where your air take goes into let me no how you get on.

[jaytay]

defo icv take to garage if you dont know what your doing mate

[richiw_vtr]

sounds alot like your idle control valve mine did exactly the same, its at the back of your throttle body, try cleaning it first sometimes helps, if not a new 1 is around £50- 60 :A:

[s_ward1]

ok cheers guys i'll have a look later

[jeffchiz]

30,000rpm lol you'd have pistons dancing on your bonnet if you were doing that lol

[s_ward1]

well 3,000 revs then lol

He could be running a tiny 2 stroke lol

mine did that today！ it did it before about 3 weeks ago, i left it for a day then it went away.... then it just came back today again -_-... I'm going to the garage to get it sorted next week though, I think it's the idle control valve... as other people say
