Have any of you having idle problems gone to the dealer to see if they can help?

most dealers will only help if you have a the CEL on unless you have a good dealer, for my case, I had to wait until the CEL popped out to get my reflash

Its strange, but after my car got tuned, the idling stopped hunting! it was really bad before the tune, it would hunt between 1000-1500rpm especially on hot days at the lights!

Simple reason .. you reset the ECU when you flash and allow the @#$)#$*T% Ethrottle to relearn itself ..

When the hunts alot (not your normal radiator fan ON OFF type), your best bet is to switch off and start up the car again with aircon off and let it settle down 1st ..

If it keeps coming back, just reset the ECU and start up with the aircon OFF to ensure the calibration cycle is correct ..

Go to the dealer and see if your car has the most recent reflash.
