I believe they call this style the "driving like a P plater"

"How long should I be running it in mate? Take it easy for the first 5000km or?"

"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.

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

Mine has always been the same, never had to let any of my FTOs "learn to idle" but eh.

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 :/
