Hi problems. You dont mention what model car or engine you have, but either the idle is set too fast or the idle stop solenoid (if it has one), is not set properly. Dr Terry Edited by user Friday, 19 September 2008 1:20:32 AM(UTC)

If at first you don't succeed, just call it Version 1.0 |

hey guys sorry it is a 307 in a hk holden, don't think idle is set too high but sometimes when you put it park after driving it'll go up to about 1500 rpm thats normally when it happens, but my idle is normally around 1000rpm
