"Nah mate, she'll be right. Do you have any hills around your place? Take it up a hill, load it up. Get your pedal to the floor, do that a few times, put it under some load"
"Lolwot, k"
But back to the task at hand. Reset your ECU and take it for a few drives to let it learn to idle again. If not then stepper is rooted.

Re: Engine light on!
I find it funny that people have to get their cars to learn how to idle yet I can disconnect my battery for several months and it idles the same as it always have

Re: Engine light on!
Every time my battery dies/disconnects I have to let it learn again, it's quite embarrassing when you're sitting at the lights and it dies :/
