I'm having problems with my idle on my 320ise.

Sometimes when cold starting the idle will go from 750 to 1500, then drop off again. it will do this for a couple of minutes until warm.

Also sometimes when I'm driving along the revs wont die down when I take my foot off the juice, if I press the clutch the revs even seem to climb, scares me to death sometimes. It's guarenteed to happen when hot starting, unless I keep her under 2000 revs.

i've changed the idle control regulator still the same.

Is there some sort of module that can go wrong? Not sure what to do. Any help appreciated.

Welcome to the zone mate, could be a couple of things, TPS or AFM. There is a Tech section just for this kind of query winkeye or try a search on the subject with the search function at the top left of your screen. Really worth checkin the above though.
