Default SPORTKA SE iDLE PROBLEMS HELP PLEASE!!!

Right here we go first of all when you start the car from cold the engine idle sits at 1100 revs and you can drive for anything from 10 - 100 miles and that will not drop but if you drive the car until it's warm and say stop to put fuel in so maybe your not running the car for about 5 mins the idle will drop to about 900 revs when warm so for i have changed the

idle control valve
tps
and throttle body

and the car is still doing the same dam thing it's just not dropping idle revs when it gets warm while you are driving and now i'm a little stuck as where to look next.

any help on this please

You could try getting hold of a second hand MAF to see if that solves your issues. Does your car hesitate or have flat spots in the rev range?

Will,

so here is an update at the weekend had to change the psp power steering pressure switch electrical connector as had a leak in old one and oh my god my idle seems to be working correct now as will drop in revs while driving the car.
Could it have been just this making the problem?

It could be that if the pressure seems low on the PAS then the engine will idle higher to increase pressure.
