Revs Itself?

[Lowercase 56]

right. engines in all gravy. got the coolant in now. seems much happier.

 

it seems to be idling about right now (no working rev counter so im just going by the sound).

 

you give it a quick blip on the throttle and it revs up as it should. takes a bit longer than i think it should to settle again though could just be as im used to the old engine though? but then it will idle high and low and high and low again for a period of 10 seconds until it settles down again.

 

any ideas what it could be?

Failing ICV? Very common on most mid-late 90's PSA engines, and can cause hunting, stalling, and/or high idle issues
