Hello
Can anyone help with adjusting the idling speed of my Rover 114 automatic? I was given it by my grandmother, and it doesn't have any manuals or anything. Although it's 10 years old, it hasn't done much mileage. It drives well, but the engine runs too fast, and I can't see how to slow it down.
If anyone can explain what I need to do, that would be great!
Many thanks.
check throttle cable isn't holding throttle open and throttle air valve, there is no adjustment screw for idle speed it is done electronically
Thanks for that, I 've checked the cables, does that mean that I have to go to the garage with the electronics involved? Or is there something that I can do?
Perhaps if you explained what "too fast" is?, then someone with access to 114 data could confirm or deny that its running too fast.
the rover automatics do "run faster" then manual gearbox versions, as you have a cvt box in it.
Hi, by faster I mean that the car starts moving before touching the accelerator pedal. Is this normal?
Many thanks,
It has been on all the automatics I've owned.

For an automatic? Yes.
