Good morning! I picked up m var yesterday having had the breathers and cam cover gaskets replaced and all is now good there, but it's holding at around 2000 rpm then dropping and I can feel it straining at the leash at low speeds. It feels as if the throttle is held open slightly. Have these got a conventional cable or fly by wire control and has anyone else encountered this problem?
Thanks,
There are two possible methods you could try
1. Leave the key in the ignition for 30 mins in position 2 (just before car starts), turn off A/C Blower, auto lights, wipers, radio etc to save battery.
Alternatively
1. Put tb on and reset the ecu with a scan tool.Dont start the car yet!
2. Go over to the throttle body and unhook the cable going to it.
3. Turn ignition key to the stage right before the car turns on. (position 2)You should get a error on the dash. (ESP Visit Workshop) wait 20 seconds and then turn the key to the position 1 not 0. leaving key intact.
4. Plug the cable back in.
5. Now go put the key to the stage right before the car starts and wait 3 min,the car will re adapt the throttle body and you will hear it move on its on. While this is going on, put everything back together!
6. Start car from position 2, and everything should be okay, tap gas peddle, rpm should drop normally, if they get stuck, or if you have a CEL, you did NOT do the reset correctly!
If none of this works you will need to get the throttle adaptations reset in Star.
