Idle problem with Mistubishi Charisma 1.6, HELP!

[MotorsportTom]

So not the most PH of cars but it's what my dad drives and needs help with.

So on to the problem, When the car is moving i.e. rolling towards a junction the RPM surges and when the car is it a standsill at the junction the idle will rise to around 2000RPM.

Although this problem only arises once the car has warmed up, when it is cold it still functions normally.


Anybody else come across a problem similar to this or know what it may be caused by?


Thanks in advance.

Could be the idle control valve , im sure most cars have a version of this.

I used to have problems with mine , just locate the valve and spray some wd40 in it.

A long shot i know .

Thanks for the fast reply, according to my dad it hasn't got an idle control valve or if it has then he hasn't found it thus far!
