hey,
recently on a few seperate occations, i've had my engine idle higher than normal (at around 1400) just randomly even though the engine is already heated up to its optimal operating temperature after 20mins or so of driving. the only way i found to fix the problem was to restart the car at the lights! the accelerator pedal does not seem to be stuck. i've got an 2004 gti (stock). anyone else had this happen to them?
*i know when warming up the engine revs higher (1200) for a few minutes then returns to the normal idle speed of about 800.
at my last service i informed the dealer about the problem and they "carried out basic settings & throttle body clean and checked engine management data". it seemed to have solved the problem but now 3 months after that i'm getting the same problem. any idea what could be wrong?
also another related question. at 4 degrees or cooler when the "snowflake" indicator comes on, does the car automatically rev higher when idle at about 1100 or does it just operate as per normal?
any advice would be appreciated! thanks!
