Have noticed sometimes revs stick too high for a while before settling back to normal. Car sometimes cuts out when idling. Temp sensor has been changed and made no difference. The problem only happens when the car is running warm, never when cold. The car is showing no faults.

More than likely you have a vacuum leak or even an idle air control issue.

However, let's start with checking for codes.

Unfortunately, we don't have a manual on this vehicle, but we do have a number of guides that will help solve this.

Please review each of these and let us know what you find with this.
