    Default Trouble starting and low revs

    Hey guys, i got a vx s2 that recently went for a service. A few weeks later i noticed the car was having a bit of trouble kicking over, not that much just had to turn the ignition for a bit longer, and the revs are lower than normal. I have titanium spark plugs but im not sure if the leads were changed aswell, do you think its a good idea to get some new ones?

    First of, try resetting the computer by disconecting the battery for a few minutes (make sure you have the radio code at hand). The book says for only a few minutes, but I have found that I have had to leave it for more than 10 minutes to reset fault codes.
    I fail to see how plugs or H.T. leads will effect idle speed.
