Puggy 206 speeds up

Dick gurgled happily, sounding much like they were saying:

Could be that the fuel injectors are wearing and leaking a bit - my Saab did this. I had the injectors reconditioned by

- about £50, and about four day turn-around, including post - and the difference was remarkable. Not only did the leaking (three of the four) get fixed, solving that symptom, but the car was smoother, pulled better on low throttle openings, was smoother, and more economical.

Yes, probably perfectly normal. The ECU is probably programmed to run briefly at a faster than normal tick over speed, when the engine is first started.

Yes that I can understand if it just did it from cold but it only does it from semi warmed up.

Dick formulated on Monday :

From cold it will run a little faster for very much longer. When hot it just runs faster for a short while (several seconds) until things stabilise - perfectly normal behaviour.

Harry Bloomfield gurgled happily, sounding much like they were saying:

Indeed. And, if Dick's symptoms are anything like mine (and they certainly sound it) this isn't that.

They really do sound identical to the symptoms I was getting from drippy injectors.

The way to be sure....

Is the fast speed very steady, then it quite suddenly drops and resettles to the normal tick over speed?

If the fast speed is fairly unsteady, then not normal.

The speed increase is just a blip lasting a second.

Dick gurgled happily, sounding much like they were saying:

But if the car's left parked - with engine hot - for more than about 15 minutes, it doesn't do it?

Normal, dont worry.

Tim.

If the engine is warm rather than hot it does it. Once it's hot it doesn't do it at all.
