I took the batt out yesterday to do the sound system and when it was time to leave the meet went to start the car and it ran like a bag of crap just wanted to stall all the time

( all the lights came on and the revs would pick up again) and it did this untill it was a bit warm then it will run fine I cant find out what I have done as all I did was took the batt out

when you take the battery out the ecu looses its memory, so it needs to re-learn this, hence why it was ok after a few miles

Hope this helps

i think you need to take it for a good drive? mine takes about 30 miles to relearn everything, how many miles have you done since?

Thanks for your help

glad you got it sorted mate

if it ever happens again, a swift boot to the limiter in 3rd seems to help it relearn the settings no end
