I normaly do my own little bit of tinkering but this is a problem i can't figure out. WHen warm the idling becomes erratic, like the engine wants to die on me.

you will have to unbolt the ecu (passenger side kick pannel) at the back there is a screw

youll need to turn it all the way clockwise you see flashing red and green leds

red/greenx1 -mode 1 (ment for automatics)
red/greenx2 -mode 2 (forgot it never used it)
red/greenx3-mode 3 9this is the code mode)

one you seen both leds flash 3 times turn the screw all the way anticlockwise this locks in the mode

next you'll see the codes flash in led sequence what you want is a code 55
5x red led flashes followed by 5x green led flashes

so you basically get the idea


1xred flash and 3x green flash is code 13 ( cas or airflow i think cnt remember of hand)

once you read the code turn the screw clockwise again or switch off

p.s i dnt know if i was correct with the screw in which way you turn but you got 50% chance of getting right first time if it didn't work try reverse the sequence
