As topic states, happened last night on the way to pick up some more G40 BBS wheels and as I was driving along this skinny country road, I pulled in to let a car through... As I pulled in and stopped she started to rev and was then idling at like 2K and sat there

My heart sank :'(
I revved her very lightly and gently (as some would to warm a car) and let off and nothing changed
I did the same again and she returned to normal

Why would she have done this/what would have coursed her to do that?

hayesey

it could be a vacuum leak.  Check that all the thin vacuum pipes are connected and not split.  And that the throttle cable isn't sticking and holding the throttle open slightly.

yeh check your throtlle cable coz mine used to do that a lot and i found out it was the throtle cable which was sticking

I thought it might be to do with something sticking, ok thanks for the replies  :)
