Know the feeling. lol
The EK failed it's MoT today on needing 2 new tyres, also started idling weirdly. Gotta clean the IACV out now and fit the OEM alloys back on.
Old cars are so ghey tbh.

It was fine before it sat for 2 months untouched... common problem apparently.

Have you tried disconnecting the battery for about 10 minutes, then letting it idle for another 10? Strange idling can be common in colts and that's the solution most the time... |

Not yet no, was thinking of doing that the other day but I remembered just before midnight and couldn't see a thing to do it  Will try later. More than likely the IACV though, quite a few on civiclife have had the same problem recently. |
