Hey guys

Yesterday NRMA changed my battery and now i have problems with the idle ................ I start the car up and it just dies....... i have to put my foot on the accel to keep the revs up and then it sometimes holds idle sometimes just dies even when ive been driving for 30 mins or so i pull up to the traffic lights and it will drop right down and just conk out


Any help would be fantastic

The battery has been checked by the boys at my work its charging fine and everything so thats one down many to go? lol

There is a sequence you go through.
It goes something like this (Forgotten exactly lol)

Start the car and idle in neutral for 1 min, then turn air on and idle 1 min, put in drive with air off and idle 1 min, in drive with air on and idle for 1 min.

I'm sure one of the guys will post it up exactly, will have a look for you later on.

Here you go.

To Re-learn PCM.
Run Engine to Normal Operating Temperature.
With the Engine at Idle, Do Not touch the Throttle during this period.
Run for 2 minutes in Drive with Air Conditioner ON.
Run for 2 minutes in Drive with Air Conditioner OFF.
Run for 2 Minutes in Neutral with Air Conditioning ON.
Run for 2 Minutes in Neutral with Air Conditioning OFF.
Then Road Test Vehicle for at least 5 minutes at Various Speeds.

try increasing your idle speed?

maybe this problem only happened at the same time as the battery out of fluke. it could be unrelated.

p.s. ive dc'd my battery MANY times and have never done the "proper way", just plug in idle for a min then drive it like you stole it.

Possibly faulty Idle speed controller or map sensor, check both those.

Sounds like the ISC to me.

After checking that it is actually plugged in, disconnect it and see if it makes any difference. :wink:
