Right, about a month ago I bought Steve_W's 3L MV6 Estate
http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1163956996Had a few niggles, nothing he wasn't up front about before hand, the main 2 being no traction control since he replaced the ABS ECU (and wrote the how2), but knew it just needed enabling by tech2
http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1152729807The other being that it will stall when started from cold, unless you manually keep the revs on for 30 secs or so, no big deal. Was about to clean breathers and ICV to try and solve this.
Stopped of at Road Runners in Saltney on my way home yesterday - they have a tech2, to see if they could enable it, last place I tried (MW Performance, Saltney) Failed miserable, but did confirm it was a new ABS ECU, had no TC program, but they couldn't program it.
So they connect it up, go to the same menu as MW did, but went a screen further, which 'programmed' it, bit of a grand description really, all it was is select engine size and auto / manual.
tech2 then said 'ignition on' then 'engine on' where I noticed it showed electonic rev counter as well (didnt think anything of this at the time)
Took it for a quick 'spin' on some gravel, confirmed TC now working (as bulb is in my glovebox

)
Now got up today, started car, idled perfectly instantly, no stalling!
Done this twice now (I go to gym 1st, then work an hour later)
So it looks like fixing the TC may have fixed the idle problem, that has been in existance since he took 1/2 the engine out to do the ABS module.
Now I wouldn't have thought the 2 could have been fixed in the one fell swoop, what do you reckon?
(got em to check my Gearbox software as well, version 5, they really didnt seem keen on updating it though, suggested it 'wasnt a 2 min job')
