Hey guys, i have been having a problem for a while now and cant come to a conclusion. Sometimes and only say once out of every 6-7 times i start my car the idle will jump straight to the 1400rpm mark and can sit there without dropping for 10 or so mins. if i shift into gear while it is idling over 1200rpm it will stall and cant be started for another 30mins.
And this can also happen while driving. i will stop at the lights and it will jump to 1400rpm, then the water lightb appears and stays on for a good 20 mins aswell, sometimes it doesnt go away and the temp starts to rise. ive checked all my oils, coolants etc and had it serviced every 10 thousand k or so.

i have a 2.4 Litre Te any ideas.

Possibly the thermostat is broken / stuck open. To test, start car when cold, remove radiator cap - if water is flowing through the radiator when just started from cold - that's your problem right there.

Yeh i know it could be a few things, i have checked as much as i can and it seems fine!! i think ill need to hook a computer up so it can find the fault. thanks guys.

Possible Tempreture Sensor Fault Telling the ECU that the Car is Cold, when it is Hot and Wacking the Auto Choke on??
