Started my 3rd gen rex yesterday and everything was normal. :)

Anyway then i took it out and after about an hour had to pop into a well known supermarket. Then came to start it after only being about 10mins and the revs settled at 1 and half grand and then dropped to 1 then back to 1 and a half, it repeated this even at junctions with clutch up and down in and out of gear. This was until i drove it up to a decent speed and then it just settled its self. So went home stopped it then started it again and it fired up no problem, went for a drive again all was well and its been fine all day today starting from hot or cold.

Does anyone know a cause for this and how i can fix it. the car is pretty standard apart from HKS filters and exhaust.

Isn\'t this a pressure hose issue ........ mind you mine does this occassionally and I don\'t have any leak issues ......... it just sounds like I am revving the car.

Thats what mine sounds like, which hose is the pressure hose, any pics would help as am still getting my head round the engine.

Its called \'hunting\'

its the ECU \'hunting\' for the correct idle revs..

Mine does it occasionally too, though I don\'t worry about it...  If it always did it, then I would start looking at it.

So it will just sort it self out after awhile?

Also thinking of getting the exhaust changed and getting it chip/remapped, would this solve the problem and can anyone give advice on this subject as well as original post.

Cheers
