Idling trouble

Hi everyone,

My EG3 has a wierd Idling thing going on. When I started it up yesterday, the rpms at Idle were quite low: 400 to 500 to be precise. A bit shakey if you ask me.
Today I start it up and the Idle is running at 1500 rpms.

I checked the mecanism and found nothing wrong with it.

Has anyone got any idea as to what could cause this ?
Could it be the fuel pump ?

In my case, my admission + map sensor was dirty, so i cleaned it up and the rpm got back to normal...

yopu can try to do it, its not difficult and if it's not the problem, I'm sure it will help your car tho.

ohh, I almost forgot. After you do this process, reset the ECU, taking out the 10A fuse under the hood (Left corner fuse box)
