i have an S reg focus ghia, it keeps over revving especially when cold,
mosly when stationary ie at traffic lights, turning or sometimes braking in
low gear. out of gear and feet off all pedals it can race up to 3000 then
back down again!!!
it's very embaracing as it sounds like i'm just revving the arse out of it.
any advice as to what the cause could be? most desperate, would like some
advice before going to a garage as i don't want to get conned. |

This is normal, its part of the warm up programming of the ECU.

Revving to around 1000 rpm when cold may be normal but not to 3000 rpm

It's normal for my car...
I've had my Focus for eight years, and it often revs to 2,500 rpm when not
fully warmed up and crawling in traffic.
It only happens when the clutch pedal is pushed down, so does not affect
driveability much. It's a bit disconcerting if you are unused to the car!

Well its not normal to rev up to 4000 revs and hold it at the lights and
once u move off its still doing it. Busseys our local ford dealer replaced
the throttle idle sensor. This seems to have cured it costing 124 quid.
Ouch!!

Your initial post said that the car revs whilst moving, but drops back to
idle when it comes to a standstill. We gave you advice on this.
