Hi guys,
When I start my car in the morning when it is cold the car will rev at around the 1.5 mark which is fine because the engine is cold. However, when the car warms up and the temperature needle reaches the half way mark, the revs refuse to drop which is what all cars should do. I've left the car running on idle for 30 minutes and still the revs won't drop.
Now this is the interesting bit, when I switch the car off when the car is warm and then switch it back on, the revs will drop to normal level. (~900 - 1k).
Since the revs don't drop automatically it goes without saying that VTEC doesn't work. To get VTEC to work i have to warm the car, switch it off and back on again, and then VTEC will work.
Can someone please explain to me why i need to switch my car off and on again to get the revs to drop and have VTEC working? What could be causing this?
Any help will be much appreciated.
