    My rev counter is crazy! Suspect

    When at lights/stopped, ie handbrake on, in neutral, both feet on the floor.
    The rev counter bounces between 1000/2000 rpm?
    Does anyone know why this could be. It only does it every now and again but it has done it a few times.
    I have also noticed its not always at the same times, i could be driving for a while or only started the car and it will still do it.

    hi maxine . start with basics . clean out the throttle body using some spray carb cleaner . sounds like the butterfly is stickin or not closing properly possibly telling your icv to give more fuel /air . try this first as it costs pennies to do yourself .if this doesn t work let me know .
