Hi all,
Hope you're enjoying your Easter Breaks!! I didnt drive my AUIII Futura for about two weeks and the stereo drained the battery. I got a new battery (the exact same), but the car has reacted strangely. Whenever the wheels are at full lock, or you stop in gear at the lights (especially with the AC on) the revs will drop and occasionally at the lights, stall. It then starts easily enough... But this isnt right! The problem went away after a good, long drive... But I had to disconnect the battery and now its playing up again. Should I see if I can 'drive it out', or should I have it looked at? Thanks! |

It is just the ECU re learning. After a bit of a drive it will learn everything again and be fine. Definitely nothing to worry about.

Here's some helpful info on resetting the ecu.
Do this whenever you disconnect the battery, and the ecu will learn heaps quicker. In fact, mine learn straight away, no issues as you've described. http://www.fordforums.com.au/showpos...9&postcount=85 GK
