Just wondering what causes an engine to idle high when in neutral gear or clutch is down. About 1.5k - 2.5k
Would this also cause the engine management light to come on?

AAahhh soooooooooo 
Would the 140 be with fitting. Coz I think I'll go with the latter.

think the 140 is just the cost of the ICV
i could be wrong tho could be half that & 140 with fitting...
but even so - cheaper to sort yaself but if you have a X14/X16XE, then its a bitch to get to!
