Mk3 mondeo 4000rpm all the time
I did post earlier but have more info on problem.
When I start the car it goes and sits at 4000rpm. I have cleaned out idle valve and throttle body etc. I have sprayed carb cleaner at the right hand side of the inlet manifold and the enging speed rises higher. The manifold is tight etc. Wondered if there was anything i could try. I was going to take the manifold off for a look but not sure whats involved.
Looked at all the pipes etc seem ok. There is a small pump like thig under the throttle body with a pipe going to the inlet manifold but dont know how to test.
Any help would be great thanks.

The fact the speed changes at all with spray or water means that there is a leak, ie air is getting in, most likely through a gasket, spray with easy start, and listen for the engine note, this has the added bonus of cleaning the area, and will enable the suspect bit to be identified, engines need air to run, idle is only cutting the air down, and hence the speed, it is finding it elsewhere due to a leak.

I took off the inlet manifold and there is a pipe connecting the manifold to another smaller plastic box i think an engine breather. The small pipe has a crack in it about 2 inch long. Do you think this would cause it.
Thanks

You would never have saw it if the manifold hadn't been off. Its about 6in long and about 1 inch thick with a split about 2-3 inch. Manifold gaskets look a bit burnt anyway.
Thanks for all your help.
