306- idle too high for a while then settles down

Nov 18, 2003 6 Replies

Hi my 306 has just started idling about 2k, its stays up there for about 30 secs and slowly returns to normal



Any idea?



Thanks Mark


I had this on a Citroen zx (Which use the same engine and most parts) but never did find out what the problem was

Old car?

Mine idles about 1-1.1k early in the mornings, but goes back to good old 850 after a few mins...

Wouldn't worry about it as long as it still starts!

Just turn the chair, and grow Mark hair

mine does that too.. its a 306 n reg. its only doing it while its cold. I think its because it keeps therevs a little high so it doesnt stall until it warms up a bit.

Mine nearly stalls when its idling and I don't know what to do.... Doh

thanks whats the chair comment all about?
