On friday, I reset my ecu, and after that everything was fine, then coming home from work on sunday and this morning I noticed the car is idling at 400rpm.

I have done a search and didn't find anything. The cold start is fine i am pretty sure, but once it is warm, it settles and sits confortably on 400rpm.

I may try and reset my ecu again and see if that helps.

Can anyone suggest what could be causing this?

Matthew, after a reset it will idle funny.
Drive it hard, taking it to redline a rev times.

It will idle fine afterwards, trust me :-)
I do a reset every 2 weeks and this is consistantly the case.

Cheers,
Cihan.

yeh just recalibrating all the values again.. nothin to worry bout. mine has actually stalled at a traffic light, was pretty embarrassing as i tried to start it for bout 20 seconds but got nothin... then i remembered it was still in drive!!! haha but will go alot better after it is sorted. my turbo spools up quicker.. and when u got my turbo u notice every bit of it hahaha

Cihan, that implies you drive at a crawl, reset it for a brief thrill once a fortnight, then dodder off again....

Yes David, that might be the case.. I cant drive at full bore without waking up a neighbourhood anyway, this particular tactic works just fine :-)

Sometimes theres no option but to use lower octane fuel, i just reset the ecu and drive easy until next fill.

Yeah it keeps the car feeling fresh
