I've changed the airflow potentiometer ( I have four of them on the bench) and adjusted it correctly.

Every time when I had it in spec and the idle would be good (not perfect), the idle go's up again to 1800rpm after restarting the car. Now an od thing happens and this happens with all four airflow potentiometers. When adjusting the potentiometer after a couple of minutes of moving it to get it into spec, no matter much I move the potentiometer around the idle would stay the same but the voltmeter would measure a change in voltage.
