frag Posted April 29, 2005 Share Posted April 29, 2005 Maybe I'm misreading the description you give of the "symptoms", but my car does the same from day one and I've always seen that as normal. If by "driving a short distance and parking", you mean starting the engine from cold and driving a short distance, then it's normal. The ECU sends a richer mixture at startup (equivalent of the ancient "choke" )and the revs stay higher during this time till the engine has had a chance to warm up. Pardon me if I got your problem wrong. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil mc Posted April 29, 2005 Author Share Posted April 29, 2005 Car wouldn't always be cold when moving it but revs stay high for a second. Can't remember if its always been that way, just really noticed it over last few months. I reckon this is because when one thing goes wrong and needs to be replaced or fixed you listen to engine more afterwards as your level of confidence begins to drop. This never happened with any other car I drove. Thanks for help lets know what mech says. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
