K series High Idle speed
I have a 1.8vvc 143bhp k series in my GTM Libra it seems to have a problem as it sometimes does not idle and will sit at 2500 rpm and today it was sat
at 3500rmp.
It has a 48mm ali throttle body and I have checked the inlet manifold for leaks but did not have any.
Anyone got any suggestions.

You may need to clean and/or reset the idle valve.

i have the opposite, my k series idles from cold at about 800rpm
and untill the needle is 2/3 up the scale, it can be a real pain driving, as it stalls
(thats in my road car)

Check the inlet manifold is tight on the head.

Cleaning idle control valve seems to of done the trick took more than the 20 mins stated on the link more like an hour.
