I have a 1.7 52 plate puma, I purchased it after my previous (perfect engined) puma was taken out by a truck on the M5.
The problem is that when I take my foot off the accelerator and onto the clutch (stopping at lights etc), the revs hang at between 1500 and 2000 for a couple of seconds, then they fall to the default 900rpm. It's really getting on my nerves and I was wondering what the problem could be. Plus today the engine management light came on. I've done the DTC check using the digital display and it says' 'NONE'.
I am due to have it looked at as the rocker head gasket needs to be replaced (I can smell oil when my heater is on) and i wondered if this may be the cause of some of my problems.

Sticky revs might be the throttle position sensor.

Just another option to investigate.

I cleaned the icv but its still the same, I haven't tried the power steering switch as yet, but I'll give it a go. I may have to replace the icv as it looks like it may be the original one.
The cam belt has been changed and may be the cause of my rocker cover gasket problems, I'll get it booked into a garage to get it sorted.
Thanks again for the replies, I really like driving these cars, this is my 3rd! I didn't have many problems with my first two, so I never really had to use this forum much. I'm glad it's here though. Big thumbs up to the administrators!

Just renew wire up to break and rejoin.
Don't take to a garage as they will charge a small fortune likely.
Maybe somebody can help you with supplying plug with wiring then connect into your loom if break is too near multi plug.
Good Luck
