hi guys.

Hope you are all well. Haven't posted for ages - been mega busy.

My car is idling a bit low. And stalling when I try and get it out of the garage. How do you adjust the idling speed?

Thanks

You don't !!!! The idle is set to the throttle map site 1 , if you Tweek the idle up you will need to reset the base idle on the ECU .

Try resetting the adaptive maps then going for a good long run with some fresh fuel .

+1. There's an issue elsewhere, don't touch it. It's set for life..
