Xantia diesel. Over reving for the first 3-4 mins.
Let me explain..... When the suspension et chad raised and it time to drive off. I change gear and the car keeps reving??? Its like the auto choke ?? etc is causing the revs to rise. Bit dangerous as I have to brake to slow th ecar down afte rchanging gear. Stops after a few mins..
Cheers

Like Anders says there is not choke but it still got me thinking of my ownership with the petrol zx reflex with manual choke, the choke puller (inside the cabin) kept coming off the cable and i was driving home from sheffield college with well constant revs.....now that was one interesting drive home....those brakes didnt get half used that day

My 2.1td did this for a while and it turned out to be a temp sensor.
When the sensor died the ecu assumed the engine was always cold and pumpeed in extra fuel to compensate.
Might be worth a look.

Those dampers dont generally work after a few k miles, I would try disconnecting it, you wont notice much difference, except it might cure the problem! It doesn't act as a return spring, there is a seperate one round the throttle cable, its just to damp sudden movement, to make acceleration smoother.

I blamed my damper for a sticking accelarator and took it off but then the accelarator kept sticking. It turned out that the plastic liner in the cable was worn through in places and that the cable was frayed too. I still haven't put the damper back on, I probably shouldPeter.N. wrote:Those dampers dont generally work after a few k miles, I would try disconnecting it, you wont notice much difference, except it might cure the problem!

Luke, if its limited to 3 mins it could be temp controlled. If its an earlier Xantia there is a Waxstat that pulls a cable to give a higher idle speed. It then releases when the engine is warm. Its on the back of the fuel pump.
I only know about it because mine was doing the opposite when cold!!!
When I had the cambelt changed last sat it suddenly corrected itself
Still going to lube it up this weekend though
Talk to the other guys on the forum. I had a thread about it a couple of weeks ago but can't remember the title
Good luck
Dave

Stuck throttle
Hello,
Probably a weak return spring on the diesel pump - fixed mine with an additional spring on the arm - throttle now a bit heavy but the engine speed drops when foot lifted!! Must get around to fitting a new return spring this year!! Quite right was has been said about the damper, although I did try putting a spring on this - slowed engine speed down but couldn,t open throttle fully - great economy!!
Regards,
John.
