Hello all!

My EB XR8 is having a few issues that are becoming quite frustrating.

First of all it has idling issues, if you rev it and let it fall back to idle it will nearly stall and pulse between 200-1500 rpm for about 10 seconds while it sort of 'recovers' back to about 800rpm.

It also sometimes revs itself up to about 1800rpm and then settles at around 1100-1200rpm at which time I am unable to get it to return to its normal idle speed of around 800rpm.

Once the car is hot it also has trouble starting, tonight I was stuck at a service station after filling up with fuel for about 30 minutes. You can crank and it doesn't seem to start, sometimes it will fire once or twice but doesn't start. Generally if you wait about 20 minutes it will start without trouble but continues to have its idling issues.

I have done a search and can't seem to find and information to help me.

Please help!!

Check to see what is showing voltage wise on the Signal return wire at the ECU

It should have 0V, I had 5V causing no end of hot start issues.
