On my XG Ford Ute my idle speed is normal when the engine is cold, but when the engine reaches operating temperature the idle speed increases. This has been occuring for two weeks now and we need our ute fixed as soon as possible. Help would be muchly appreciated.

we have no info fo r thiscar but try cleaning throttle plate on both sides an diac hole with choke cleaner it may be sticking or gummed up. If it still does it check for vacuum leak like a hose disconnected or hole in it.
