XR2i Reving problem - leonjc
I've got a Ford Fiesta XR2i 1.6 8v 1990 H reg. It's been fine since i had it, until yesterday when i had got home from a trip out with the missus and kids. We'd just got back and was pulling into the drive when the car began to rev at 4500/5000rpm without the throttle being pressed! I checked under the hood and the throttle wasn't even moving. After about 30 seconds the cars revs dip to normal idle and flick back upto 2500rpm by itself this continues until you turn the engine off. Start it again after that and it does exactly the same, screams upto 4500/5000rpm, then dips as above and stays like that. Ive had no other problems what so ever that may have even been a warning to this happening.

Please help!!!!

sounds like the throttle body sticking open try cleaning it with carb cleaner should solve it
