Wandering idle speed
« on: 17 December 2007, 00:36:57 »
Out and about today I noticed that the idle speed was sitting at 500 rpm (V6) then climbing to 1500 / RPM for a while then dropping back to 1000 rpm.
No error lights or strange noises and drove OK

My suspicion is ICV, or possibly an air leak, but couldn't hear anything whistling when i looked under the bonnet with the engine running.

Any thoughts?

I would say an air leak.

My V6 has been stalling a bit on LPG in the extreme cold weather, but a re-map seemed to solve this tonight :)

I reckon that you've done more maps than Ordnance Survey  :D
