    Had this 'problem' since i bought the car, When you rev it, it takes ages for the car to return fully to idle, ive checked the throttle cable and it isnt too tight as the TB is closing fully, but they just take ages to come back down! also sometimes if i blip the throttle ever so slightly on idle, the revs go down to like 500rpm or less and the engine hunts like a cammed car on idle, sometimes it stalls, you can see what i mean in the video, but typically it sorts itself out pretty quick, sometimes it randomly starts doing it instead of a stable idle until i cancel it out by revving the car to about 2000 rpm, sometimes it will continue to hunt until i cancel it myself

    Anyway, video.. 0:20 onwards is the strange up and down idling, but before that is the revs taking ages to drop!
