99 fiesta, rev problem

Dusty87 · 2011-11-17 19:10:00

As above, have just bought a 99 Fiesta LX 1.25 as a cheap runaround. When i clutch her, the revs start to rise slowly, until i clutch it again?? Any ideas? Thanks in advance:)

Sounds like your idle air control valve.

same thing happened mine when I had one. Simple job to fix, and about 50 euro from a scrappy.

It's called a VSS vehicle speed sensor. It doesn't always solve the problem. Try it and see. It may also be the clutch pedal switch.
