02 1.6 over revving - Turner_G
Hi. I recently bought this car and it didn't over rev very much at the beginning but it gradually got a lot worse. For example, on ignition it would rev up to 3000 without touching the accelerator, and it would then over rev throughout the journey to a max of 3000. I took it back to the trader who said that he would get it fixed.

When I picked it up, it seemed fine again. However, I've started to notice that it revs up to 2000 on ignition again. I've just found out that the garage he took it to just reset the base settings rather than replace any parts.

Is this something that is normal for a Daewoo and not something to worry about? I'm worried it will get progressively worse and I'll end up having to shell out a lot of money to get it fixed.
