Hi guys, this problem has probably been covered before but I couldn't find it.
Basically, when I first start the car, all's dandy and fine, however, once it's up to normal running temperature, the idle speed drops right down, fluctuates between 0-1000rpm for a bit and then cuts out. The car's been stood still for a couple of weeks as the suspension was getting fixed but I can't figure out a) what's happened and B) what could've caused it
Any help would be awesome.
Cheers
Ian

Sounds like the Idle Speed Motor. Costs $379 at Dealer. After that, adjust the Base Idle Set Screw (BISS) located on tne throttle body. Turn screw very slowly counter-clockwise to increase idle- while engine is running and warmed up.
