Hi.
My car S70 2.5T LPT with RICA 235 remap has sddenly developed a very intermittent fault. Without any warning the idle speed suddenly drops to about 600rpm and then surges up and settles back down. It does this a couple of times and then it's ok. It starts up and drives fine otherwise.
Mine is the earlier version without the ETM.
Any advice welcome.
Thanks.

Mine does it sometimes, I'd be sat at the lights and the revs drop and then come back up, as if it's just engaged the clutch on a very big AC pump.
Dirty throttle?

I'm having a slightly similar problem. When I'm on overrun at slow speeds, less than 30mph, I can feel engine braking going on and off as if the throttle is being pressed. It's a bit of a pain when you're in town traffic.
