I've not long had a problem with my car, it kept missing so i bought the following (after being advised to buy a tuning guy):
Dizzy Cap
Rotor Arm
Coil
Plugs
HT Leads
The above problem has now been resolved but i now have another problem:
The car idles at like 2000rpm and takes ages to sink back down, ive tried cleaning the throttle body and checkin all the possible ports i could find but to no avail
Anybody got any ideas as im getting rather p***ed off with her now?

The engine was unhappy cos of missfires etc and as a result the block learn has cranked the idle control valve round - you have now replaced or reset everything but the block learn is wrong - it will take some time to reset itself if ever so
Provided you have your radio code etc
Dissconnect the battery lead and leave it for an hour
Re-connect and it should phaf and fart around for a few mins and then sort itself out
i had the exact same prob so the garage put new throttle body on,all was fine till last week when i run my battery down,when going again the revs were all over and rarely dipped below 2k,so i took batt of for 25 mins,re-connected it,let it idle a bit but it still wasnt great,anyway after a week or so its settled itself down back to normal,good luck mate.
