Hi guys,

Having driven from Essex to Berkshire, on arrival at the hotel, as I slowed to turn in the engine rev'd up to 2,500 unexpectedly and then continued idling high and then dropping.

Green flag have been out and given the above error code and said its the idle air control system. Couple of things I need help with:

1) can I limp the car back to Essex (60 miles), my understanding is that it will only overfuel
2) does anyone know/recommend someone in East London/Essex that can fix this before next weekend when I have to drive to Wales?
3) is it just the throttle housing/system that needs replacing and how much should it cost?

Cars is a 2003 wrx PPP wagon.

Thanks in advance guys.

Chris
