A couple of snippets in reply to a similar question, I have never touched a 1.8 so don't know


"Part of the problem on no turbo 75s was the throttle body, If you have a plastic one, you have the problem part. My 75 non turbo had a plastic one and suffered from the same, it was changed for a "alloy" one and the problem was 90% gone. I think the problem was traced to the throttle body deforming when the air intake from the air cleaner was fitted to it, hence the throttle butterfly doesnt quite close, leaving the revs "hanging". The other 10% of the problem is engine tune related but far too complicated to explain. It is mostly to do with the fuelling during gearchanges which makes the revs stay a little higher to aid smooth gear changes."

And

"Once my TF was having the same symptoms but a bit worse, strange revs, up and down, and stalling, and doing that solved it!

On the F/TF it's turn ignition one click, fully press the loud pedal 5 times, turn off, then start.

Or something like that anyway.."
