right then. when i drive my GSI, i stop at lights or somthing and the revs slowly climb up to about 3k. (but my foot is NOT on the acelarator)
and theres a part in the acelarator that does nothing although im pushing it.

is this somthing to do with the throttle cable? can you oil/grease it or buy new ones?

cheers.

I would say its you Idle Air Control valve mate, not throttle cable, wrong symptoms

Try adjusting the screw on the throttle housing.

If not that, then it could be a problem with the automatic choke?

the red dot is where the Idle Air Control Valve is and the idle screw is on the inlet monifold near number 18
