The engine idle speed on my Picasso is erratic, unpredictable and seems to have a mind of its own! It picks up when the car is standing at traffic lights, junctions etc and causes the engine to race when I'm moving. Does anyone know what might be wrong with it? It's been on a computer at my local garage but no fault shows up. I've had the throttle sensor replaced but this did not help.
