High Revving at Idle

Discussion in 'General Motoring' started by Chris Flowers, May 26, 2004.

  1. Morning

    Started my Peugeot 206 up today and for some reason, whilst idling the
    revs were up to 2000.

    Bit of mini-history. I only got my car back from the Peugeot dealer
    on Monday just gone after a two and a half week wait, just to have the
    injector replaced! Its been running fine up to this morning.

    Last night I replaced my headlights with the Morette's (been waiting
    to do it for weeks). All went well. Started the engine, tested the
    lights etc. At this point the engine was fine.

    The engine is fitted with a Pipercross induction kit which has a cold
    air feed I rigged up myself - its had this for about a year, so its
    nothing new. However last night I did secure the cold air feed a bit
    more so it was pointing right on the induction kits filter - prior to
    that it was loose and whilst moving I would imagine it was swinging
    about quite a bit.

    Other then that, I made no further changes since the injector was
    replaced. The only other 'mod' I have in there, which again, has been
    in for about a year, is the Ecotek valve (please, keep you opinions
    about this to yourselves - I'm not posting to discuss this!).

    Listening out for any strange noises, the only thing I could notice
    was each time I pressed the accelerator, a sound which can only be
    described as 'hissing' or even 'squirting' could be heard.

    After driving for a few minutes, the revving settled down back to
    normal.

    What could possibly be causing this? Your advice and help would be
    greatly appreciated.

    Many thanks
    Chris

    I hate to say it, but the Ecotek could be your problem. Basically
    there is too much air going into the engine - either the throttle is
    sticking open, or there is an air leak. If an air leak, then maybe a
    hose is loose somewhere *or* the Ecotek valve is sticking open. Try
    shutting it off and see if the problem goes away.
