I recently purchased a 1995 Rover SPi Cooper which had a high idling speed, approx 1500 rpm. Following advice from the forum I found that the vacuum tube from the back of the manifold to the air filter was disconnected. After reconnecting, the idling revs dropped to approx 800 rpm when the engine is hot.  The problem now is that with a cold engine, the tick over is so low that  I have to blip the throttle to keep it running.  

Any thoughts?

Previous owner may have tried to adjust idle by moving the throttle cable , it may need to be reset.
