Last couple of mornings starts up fine idles normally then after 30 secs idles at 1400 revs for 10 sec then back to normal idle slowly.. the car warms up 4 a minute then i drive off ok when the car is warm. Driving around i notice a difference occasionally the car starts to idle at 1400 revs again for 10-20 secs then drops back to normal it does it in neutral and under load the stepper motor has been stripped and cleaned regularly im inclined to change the leads plugs dizzy cap and rotor arm for new but before i blow £120-£200 any other avenues i should go down guys??

In that case all I can suggest is give the stepper a good clean.My car sometimes revs about 1300/1400 rpm,after a while it settles down itself to around 900. Having aircon switched on however automatically steps the revs up by about 150rpm.
