1999 1.6 over revving - gvmllr
hi all when i start the car on a morning it goes straight to 2000 revs instead of the 1000 revs,it stays there for about 7 minutes before it calms down also when i stop the car sometimes does the same.(2000 revs). and sometimes the needle goes about halfway below the 1000 revs mark. car runs ok when driving. just these few little issues..any help is very much appreciated...thanks for looking.

{T reg, that'll be something like 1999 then?}

if nothing obvious like a split pipe then the easiest answer is a fault code read,this should send you in the direction of a faulty component rather than guessing at stuff
sorry without having the car in front of me i cant guess better
