Toyota Avensis high tickover

Car: Toyota Avensis
Variant: Model T4 2 litre manual
Model Year: 2005
Categories: Running Rough, Starting & Power Loss
Had 3 garages look at it. the last one was a Toyota specialist in Chelmsford. after 4 weeks and checking everything, including recommendation's from Toyota technical, they still cant solve the problem.
Things checked/renewed were ECU unit, Throttle body, Fuel Filters, Vacuum on manifold pipe, EGB, Injectors, spark plugs.
Thing is I like the car, but constantly revving at 2000rpm particularly when going slow in traffic is a real problem. As well as high fuel consumption.
If anyone can solve it I will give them £250 cash in hand.

If all those people who have had hands on with the car to fix and are stumped , unlikely we will be able to solve from here .Have they tried changing the throttle pedal / throttle position sensor and check plug and connection at same ?

Thank you whittingehame, but that was checked.

I am now going to sell the car.

Sorry cant be of more help , selling car may be best move but disappointing that no answer to problem has been found .If not retired , I would have loved to have the car in my garage and had a crack of fixing it .Best wishes with replacement car .
