RPM problem?

[armjoker]

hey guys, I have some strange thing going on with my rpms. When car is stopped its running 1100 rpm. Before it use to be 1000. What can cause this problem, do I need to clean my intake?

you should clean the idle air control valve.

Thx m8 for the link, going to try it now anybody here have done this?

lots of owners here have done this its fairly common, it is worth trying some carb cleaner before removing the whole assembly sometimes it works just as well, i would gues its just a but dirty as usually the revs fluctuate up and down when the IACV is knackered.

Do I need to clean the prb (if not mistaking) intake also? I guess they also get dirty yes? What chemical u use to clean it? I have wd40 only atm. Im thinking to take it to mechanic and have cleaned all intake. Does it affect performance/economy?

yep if you dont know what to do then take it to a mechanic, DO NOT USE WD40, it will not do it any favours.
