Hi guys, after doing a checkup on fuses, i started my car and it didn't have a varying idle on a cold startup. Normally it goes above 1000rpm, like everyones, but it only stayed on 600. With the temperature on optimum, the idle is constant at 400rpm, I was worried about this and gave it a rev to around 4-5000, no problems, but it hit 400rpm again and stalled.
I re-checked the engine bay fuse box and kick door fuse box, nothing seems to be messed around with. Could I have blown something?
Any problems with driving around for now? I need to go to work!

Did you remove the ECU fuse? Or did you disconnect the battery? Doing so will make the computer start again and relearn the way its goots drive. Sounds like you hvae reset it. Take it for a good drive ( 15 - 20 km's) this should let it have time to learn again.

Thanks for the quick reply, I disconnected the battery (-ve). I've blasted the A/C idling at 900rpm, I've been letting it run for around 10mintues now, it seems to be getting there.
Hopefully it is what you say, time for a drive! Fingers crossed I don't blow my engine for anything!

hmmmmmm, mine does that occasionaly. It idles really low untill the point that it stalls. If i keep the revs up (by keeping my foot on the accelerator and foot on the clutch) it wont stall, and normal driving is fine. I found the best way to fix it is take it for drive. And hammer it down the road for about 10 seconds. That always seems to fix the problem. (oh, and its a bit of fun too!)
