In hot weather after a decent run, when you restart whilst engine still hot (16v) the engine surges up to 2.5k rpm then settles at idle. Air leak of some description somewhere? :shrug:

Sounds familiar. Mate's 16v did the same when he hadn't connected the sensor back properly after fitting induction kit.
