If I restart the car all is ok, what would cause this?The other issue is that I have an edit and wonder if this problem needs to be rectified by Ford will the error code if any be wiped when I flash back to standard mode prior to taking it back to Ford.Any advice much appreciated.ThanksDeano Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
