Does it do it when the engine is warm or is it all the time.

cheers.guys
its.my.car
Does.it.all.the.time.warm.or.cold
Soon.as.it.starts.to.spool.up.circa.3000.revs.it.s till.accelerates.but.very.slowly
Other.thing.is.the.rev.counter.is.all.over.the.joi nt.especially.when.coming.on.to.boost............. ..jumps.right.of.the.scale
Only.time.it.sits.normal.is.when.coasting.really
Not.being.very.mechanical.i.dont.have.a.clue
Someone.has.suggested.it.maybe.the.amal.valve?
Thanks.in.advance.for.any.help.and.sorry.about.my. broken.space.bar
cheers
