Hey people got my new powersteering rack fitted today plus shockers balljoints bushes. When i started the car and let it idle it was going up down from 600rpm-800rpm, it now idles at 800rpm, before the installation it idled spot on at 900rpm but now its fluctuating, it almost stalled when i was reversing slowly before?? any had these issues? its very strange i put injector cleaner threw it before seemed to help a bit but still idles low but smoother. Should i just turn it up half a notch??

They may have had the battery terminal's off, and its the computer re-learning. Thats all i can think of at the moment

Pedder's recently changed over the rack in the wife's car, got it home and the idle was all over the place, had a look in engine bay and found a vacuum hose hadn't been put back on. Maybe have a look around your bay?
