    My VN was doing that for awhile. I gave it a full clean out (spark plugs, clean TB, upgraded leads etc). And now you cant even feel it idle. runs very smooth and idles at around 700. 900 when its cold :P.

    I know I am bumping a 2-3 year old thread but this same exact problem is happening to me and I can't seem to figure it out. I've taken out the Throttlebody and completely cleaned it (cleared the IAC Valve of all carbon ect as well) and it's still not working!
    I read the error codes and it returned 24 (Vehicle Speed Sensor) but that doesn't really make me think it would be directly related.
    Sometimes if I kick it in the guts (Slam the accelerator at idol to 1k off red) and turn it off, it starts but instead of 1,500rpm it's 2,000.
    Does anyone have a little bit more info on what this could be? I'm not all that interested in taking it back to Holden as I'm a little bit broke

    not revving the tits of it in idle will be a good start

    In mine if you are driving along and slip it into neutral (auto tranny), the idle stays at about 1300 or so till the car comes to a stop. Speed sensor ~might~ be telling the computer to keep the idle speed up like when you are tootling around corners off-throttle but loading up the p/s pump to minimize the chance of it stalling. So if the sensor is bad it might be affecting things. Just a though.
