Ok well I posted on here a little while back mentioning a problem with the idle speed of my car and it was basically a given that it was the cruise control cable sticking.
Well anyway, turns out tha'ts not the case. It looks more likely to be the throttle position sensor as when I unplug it with the engine running while it's idling to high, it goes back to the normal speed.
So I'm guessing the sensor has become clogged or something or is starting to collapse.
Are these expensive to replace or anything? The car's still under warranty but the trip to the dealer is a $15 trip (petrol) and I really couldn't be bothered waiting for them to replace one little component when it's something I can easily do myself.
I have a series 2 VX V6.
