    Default Idle Speed Now 1200RPM 3.2 V6 - Done The Usual

    Car had a basic service at Stealers due to a lack of time. In the 3 weeks since I have cleaned the throttle body, replaced the gasket, replaced the air filter and changed the spark plugs.

    All has been fine since last Thursday when I did the plugs, that is until tonight when the idle (tickover) has decided to settle at around 1200RPM and feels to stay open more than usual between gear changes.

    Any ideas?

    Cheers

    Sounds like a possible air leak causing it to hold the revs up. Is their any other faults? Does the temperature gauge work?

    Could be a vacuum hose come off or something silly. Hope it's nothing serious.

    Can't see any hoses off - The only thing that brings the idle speed down is putting the A/C on!!
