Hi,

This vehicle isn't offered in the US, but I will try my best to help.

When there are variations in idle speed, the first thing to check for is engine vacuum leaks. Have you done that? If not, start there. Here is a link that shows how to do it:

If none are found, I need to know if this has a separate fuel injector for each cylinder, one throttle body injector, or if it has a carburetor.

Let me know.

Joe

Thanks Joe. I have been away for a while due to some engagement, but I really appreciate your reply. This is no doubt one of the best repair sites I've ever come across. I am now back fully into repair operations and will definitely have a lot to ask from this forum. Thanks
