Idle stepper motor I'd say at a guess. A common fault, they get gunked up as the crankcase breather goes into the inlet manifold just before the idle mechanism.

But I don't know why is should read 1000rpm....? When my stepper motor sighed enough it would just idle very low or not at all.

Hi
Sorry for the late reply, but I will answer in case someone else has this problem and needs to self remedy

Yep been there done that, was the Idler stepper motor.
