hi there I am new to forums but a friend mentioned that people on this forum are extremely knowledgeable and may be able to help.
I have recently purchased a solid 22,000 mile XR2I 1.6 8V CVH however the only issue is that it idles like a panting dog when warm. It dips and rises whilst at idle. The car is in great rust free condition however has only done about 100 miles a year in between mots.
My mechanic has looked at it and given it a full service as it has been a bit neglected and has checked the timing and all hoses are secure and not leaking air. It didnt have a air filter so he fitted one.
He think it is possibly the potentimeter whatever that may be. My mechanic has 30 years experience but himself states its a long time since he has worked on a injected CVH engine.
As I say all the easy things such as spark plugs leads timing etc have been checked but it still idles roughly and has a high Co2 out put and runs very rich. Any help would be much appreciated.

Disgusting behaviour!
