Title: 16891 - Idle Control System RPM Higher than Expected.
Post by: Philpy on 10 July 2009, 18:02

Missus has just come home and said engine management light is on.
Plugged the laptop in and got the above.
The engine is making a hissing sound and when you push the pipes going to the idle valve it stops the hissing.
Gonna have a look tomorrow. Anyone had anything like this before?
