hi
I have got a '96 sportspack cooper which ticks over from start ok but when I press accelerator and then take my foot off the revs stay quite high!!
does anyone know what causes this?
cheers
Bob

sticky throttle cabe or worst case scenario, cracked/warped throttle body

There's a very good chance the trottle body is to blame. I've a '96 Sportspack similar to yours and this was the cause in my case. Here's my previous post on this subject...

Eratic idle

Hope this helps, good luck!

they dont drop rev particularly quickly at idle. i know mine doesnt. throttle body is good and speedo cable isnt sticking.
unless its sticking overly long like 5 - 10 secs i wouldnt be too concerned mate.
