high rpm? or normal..

- Start date
turn the steering wheel while stationary, does the idle drop to normal?
there's a pressure switch in the PAS lines that if sending low pressure ECU idles up to compensate. Soooo, could be knackered PAS pump, old steering fluid or belt.
Just put this one in in case you do everything said and start tearign hair out!

Get used to it.You'll be chasing your tail forever trying to fix it!
...and when you do fix it, you probably won't even know what the solution actually was. :doh:
I'd suggest it's worth having a look at a couple of things, but it's not worth losing any sleep over.
This is purely on the basis that I had a Bailey single-piston valve in mine, and it would often give high idle... and then sometimes normal. - That doesn't mean it's your problem; it's just one more thing to eliminate.
I mean the smaller vacuum/boost line going to the dump valve (not the big one it's probably connected to the plenum by). Just squish it with some pliers then rev the car a bit (as if you've been drving). - Because the vacuum on mine was pulling the valve open at idle, it was letting air in (thus the idle speed went up); as soon as I pinched the line, the revs dropped.
After that, I replaced it with an HKS SQV (the old one that looks like a spaceship) and haven't had any more problems with the idle going up and down like that.
Taking the idle screw out and spraying throttle body cleaner inside also helped bring the base idle speed down.

You only have 1 hose going to the bov, it might be teed into others but just pinch the bit attached to the bov.
