Yes I know its been covered..
Basically my idle will sometimes stay up at 2,000rpm, sometimes more.
Usually it's fine but this morning started up at 2,500 from cold.
Not an idle screw issue obviously.. car is fine when in gear. Not so good with clutch in or in neutral.
I'm thinking vac leak of some description. Have a new stepper coming.. any other suggestions?

Re: Idle problems
Mine occasionally idles first near the 2,000rpm at cold, and goes down when in gear, but mine has never gone higher?

Mine did the same when I didn't put the tps(I think it's called) hose back on properly
Because nothing is faster than a p plater in a commodore.....

Re: Idle problems
Hmm.
I also have a fluctuating idle. Its almost like its misfiring but it isnt as rapid. And is fine under load.
