Unhappy The cars back but it has a small problem

Hey guys,

i got the car back last night its all running sweet, but now when u rev the car it takes quite a while to drop the revs back down to idle, and when your driving it does the same thing, or if your just ideling along and give it a bit of a tap on the accelerator the revs go up to over 1000rpm and stay there.

what would be causing this?

Thanks Adam

It could also be the ISC. Disconnect it and take it for a spin. See if it still does it. If the ISC is letting too much air in reset base idle. My car took about 4 days to finally learn the proper idle though. Bloody brainiac ECU :P

map sensor influences how the ISC responds.
which works with the vac issues.
either way hopefully u get it back flawless :P
