Hello,
I have a MGF VVC 2000 on a 'w' plate. Since i purchased the car the revs have had a mind of their own, fluctuating from normal idle (about 850 ish) to 1800. This problem can happen at any time but more likely when hot. I have had the car checked by a Rover dealer twice now, and they say that they cannot find any problem. If i restart the engine this sometimes sorts the problem and sometimes I can force the revs down by letting out the clutch whilst stationery. I have checked the throttle body and it was the metal type, although I have now changed this to a 52mm version, (purchased from Mike Satur). This has made no difference. I have also installed a cold air induction kit, not to help my problem, just for the sake of performance. Does anybody have any ideas please?
