ive just bought a gsi and ive found it takes a while for the revs to drop when you release the accelerator, and sometimes it just idles up to 2,000rpm thought it was a sticky throttle cable at 1st but the revs wouldnt just rise and fall by themselves!
any help appreciated!
cheers

clean the ISC and use some fuel adative to clean the gunk of injectors and stuff, car will run a lot better after a good run on the motorway at about 80mph for a good 20miles
