1997 Ford Escort GTi review from UK and Ireland
"Very good"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Would like help in sorting out bad ideal speed car tick's over at 1500rpm and some times goes up to 2000rpm when slowing down have noticed after the car has warmed up if you put full lock on the rev's will die down to 1000rpm and stay there to you start to drive again. Have cleaned ideal speed control valve, but still running high do you think I should replace it.
General comments?
Car very fast and comfortable just wish I could sort out bad ideal speed.
