    Question reseting idle?

    im just intrested to know who rev's there car at 3000rpm for 10 second's or takes the fuse out for 5 minutes
    ive done the fuse trick as i hadnt heard of the 3000rpm way
    i dont really like the idea of revving a cold engine after youve worked on it

    4:idle for 4 minutes switch off snd restart the car

    You don't really reset the idle, you reset the TPS. Two ways you can reset the ECU, remove the main engine fuse for 10 seconds, or disconnect the positive battery lead for 10 seconds. Start the car and rev to 2000 rpm for 10 seconds, switch off car. TPS is reset.

    It needs to hit 2000 rpm for the ECU to know it isn't idling. This will reset the TPS to the correct voltage signals. VT onwards you don't need to relearn the idle, it resets every time you switch it off.
