im having problems with my gsi idle i goes up to 1300 rpm them goes back down to 900rpm when just ticking over, have tryed adjusting the idle positioning sensor but it keeps on happening.

idle air control valve or maybe a air leak on inlet manifold?

My LET is doing exactly the same but only worse. Going to clean the Idle Control Valve and order a new Coolant Temp Sensor tomoro. Should sort it.

clean your idle control valve, its at the back of the block, bolted near the top pulley, should have a pipe going into either end and a plug on it.

check for any splits in the hose going from the AFM to the throttle body.
