Driving home today the ECU light came on an stayed on, now whenever i depress clutch revs dont drop and at idle they stay at 1800rpm!!!
Does anyone no what it could be? ive sprayed all inlet etc with carb cleaner but it is worse than before!!!
could it be air flow sensor? ICV or what else could it be?
thanks

wat the hell is an ICV, have you heard of the paperclip test what people do by bridging 2 of the pins on one of the ecu connections to read off a fault code via how many times a light flashes??? jus thought it might help if you do this first?
