My Rover 214i intermitently and espantaneously revs up to about 3000 rpm after 5 min. into a journey after switching off it becomes normal,any idea?

Not sure with out looking but could be the Idle control valve.

This problem on the Rover engines is usually caused by a failing engine management control unit-the silver box on the nearside inner wing. Fortuneately they are not hugely expensive (about £120) although later coded versions have to be dealer installed.
P.S.By 'espantaneously' do you mean instantaneously,it would make sense if you do.

I thought he meant spontaneously, but I`m not sure I can spell it either.

mark is right I mean spontaneously and it is a 1996

Distorted plastic throttle housing (throttle body) will be your problem.
New style alloy housing will sort your problems.
Don't buy anything without speaking to me first....

Los.....how old is your car? That would be a great help.
Let me know and I'll see what I can do to help.

What kind of cheapskate company makes a throttle body from plastic? Next you'll be telling me that some car makers use plastic cambelt tensioners....
