206over revving and stalling
I have a T reg 206, I have a problem, usually when idling at lights etc. sometimes the revs shoot up to about 3000rpm and sometimes they drop right off and the engine stalls. This will happen for a couple of days and then not occur for two or three weeks. Has anyone got any ideas, I would be most grateful

What engine Ian?
I'm guessing a petrol. If so, the Idle Control Valve is the prime suspect. Have it off, clean it with carb cleaner and likely it'll behave itself then.
It may only be a short-term cure and a new one might be needed eventuallly.
