Temp and "crazy revs" problem on 214GSi [Archive]

The revs counter flutuates...! Other thing is tahat the temperature gauge is rising up and the radiator fan just turns on when the temp gauge is 3/4... Is it the ECU or a temp valve/sensor?? I took the car to the shop to tune up the ECU but it only fixed the problem for a couple of hours... 214GSi 18-06-2002, 23:32 I forgot to say that the engine does not stay idle... the revs stay between 1500-2000 I think there was a post about the same problem... Dr Dave 18-06-2002, 23:32 Any MGR workshop should be able to pinpoint the problem, possibly saving you cash in the long run. Temperature sensors, ECU's and stepper motor adjustment are favourites for this ???
