The Ford Transit I'm driving is temperamental at the moment.

When you start the engine, the engine sounds fine. But drive it for a while and when you take your foot of the accelerator, the engine noise is high and the rev counter needle can be anything between 1,000 rpm and nearly 2,000 rpm, instead of about 750 rpm of which it should be at.

It's been to the garage twice now, of which the second time it went in it was off the road for 4-weeks whilst they decided to replace the whole of the fuel system. I have no idea what they did the first time it was in.

Has anyone got any ideas as to why it's holding the revs? As I've said, the engine sounds fine when you start it up, but drive it for a while and it can start to get noisy.

The starter motor was replaced about 2 months before this started happening. Could that have something to do with it?

I keep thinking that if its going to keep making a racket, it's going to knacker the engine!
