I'm new to this forum and to ownership but I do have this idle problem on my small turbo EECIV cossie
I have searched and seen many people discuss it but not found anyone write an actual solution to how they fixed it.
When you pulled up, mine would continue to rev at around 2000 with the clutch down until you stopped, it would then drop to around 1100.
I have noticed that it is connected to the VSS and found that if I were on a hill and let the car roll when not in gear the revs would rise again to 2000 and drop again at standstill
With some googling, I found the VSS input was on pin 3 of the ECU, I then found there was a speed input for the stereo fudged into this wire so having seen problems with these inputs on other cars I removed it.
That has had a positive effect on it, the car is now much more drivable and does not fight you as you slow down for junctions but it does still hang the revs at about 1400 until you stop moving, so is this normal for this ECU or is there still an underlying problem with it?
P.S. I have written this in the Problems Registering area as although I seem to be a member, I did not receive an email to confirm and this is the only area of the forum I can see
