Hi
CAr: V REG Alahmbra 2.0 litre petrol ADY engine
The car will idle at 9500 revs in the mornings and then when I take my foot off the accelarator the revs drop, it cuts out and the battery light comes on. It will then restart with a bit of encouragment. when the car is arm it does not miss a beat. I have had the coolant temerature sensor replaced. It is still the same and now when stuck in traffic the temp gauge slowly creeps toward the red. The car recently had a new MAF sensor, coil, plugs and thermostat.
The problem has got worse sinse the coolant temerature sensor was replaced.
Do you think it might be duff sensor?
Any ideas as I am at my whits end.
The garage seemed to think it might be the idle Control valve (Ouch! Expensive, he quoted £400 before fitting)
