Youve probably already sorted this problem, but if its still doin yer nut, try this. my gsi on a '93 l-plate started playin silly buggers with its tick over. my mate suggested resetting the ecu. just disconeect the battery +ive terminal for more than 60 minutes (i did it for 70 to be safe). then reconnect, start the car BUT DO NOT TOUCH THE THROTTLE, for about 10 seconds the engine will cough and hack, this is the ecu recalibrating. after the ten or so seconds the tick over should be normal once more! MINTA!:thumbs: | |

erm if you adjust the throttle cable so that it actually starts the engine with revs on you might find problems with starting the car. | |
