Hi - I have a problem with my Ford Escort Cabriolet 1997 1.8 Zetec Petrol. I found your website and thought you might be able to help. I have owned the car now for 11 years. In between changing gear the revs are sometimes holding. Prior to this I had a new idle control valve fitted as the car was dropping revs and cutting out. Since the replacement control valve, the revs can sometimes go way above normal. The car ticks over at just over 10 but sometimes, during tick over, it can drop to 8. All the pipes have been cleaned as well as the electrical connections. The car has been under a diagnostic test with no faults, apart from slight wear and tear on the mass meter. No more than expected of a car this age. Car starts fine, no loss of power driving, temperature gauge is fine. Sprayed pipework with carb cleaner. No difference to the running. The idle control valve has been changed twice just in case the original supplied was faulty (done by the garage). The ECU was disconnected for a hour after the new valve was fitted. I have been advised the clutch could be causing the problem but this had been replaced within the last 20000 miles. Any thoughts or ideas would be most welcome. Thank you
