i have been looking on the net seems it could be a air leak but mine does drop sometimes i guess it would not do that if it was a air leak ? appears the base gasket it common. its tbi ? idles really high sometimes.


got to get some carb cleaner like john said before.

it should adjust itself, sounds like idle valve
clean it and see
have you tried connecting the diagnostic tool? that should/could tell you

ok john i took it out today high idle it has a normal idle under starting lovely warmed up but soon as i touch the pedal it does not drop again to the normal idle is that the iac ? or a air leak ? read the tbi is prone to gaskets on the base


currently has no drivers seat as it is so knackered its uncomfortable to drive thought i could mend it but its fooked so just ordered some buckets from ebay ! xmas pressi for car lol

when i drive it it goes on its own no pedal lol

spray carb cleaner round tbi base when idling normally. if there is a leak it will rev up

shame I did not know you wanted seats, got the 2 I took out of mine
only changed them because I bought Kev's old ones

good condition, like new. got to put them on ebay
