anybody know what else i can do to fix this problem? i have a 1.4 8v sri (c14se) that sometimes has a high idle (around 1.2k to 1.8k) some of the time its ok but others it will stay high, just changed the ICV and it seemed fine for a while but seems to have gone back to how it was before, any other things i can change that could cause this? cheers
